Żegrze, Administrative district in Poznań, Poland
Żegrze is a residential district in southeastern Poznań composed of multiple housing complexes built from prefabricated concrete panels. The area features numerous mid-rise and high-rise apartment buildings arranged in a structured layout that defines the neighborhood's character.
The village of Żegrze was incorporated into Poznań during the early 1940s under Nazi occupation. This merger happened together with the neighboring area of Chartowo and represented a significant change to the city's boundaries.
The residential development pattern of Żegrze reflects the urban planning principles of the late 1960s, with numerous high-rise buildings organized into distinct housing estates.
Several tram and bus lines connect this district to central Poznań through the transportation hub at Rondo Rataje. The good public transport access makes it easy to explore the neighborhood and reach the city center.
The district forms one of three subdivisions within the larger Rataje region, positioned near Lake Malta with an elevated road connecting Poznań to Katowice passing through.
