Kolonia Wysockiego, Workers housing settlement in Janów-Nikiszowiec district, Katowice, Poland
Located between Nikiszowiec and Giszowiec neighborhoods, Kolonia Wysockiego consists of multi-family brick houses and prefabricated buildings constructed along Braci Woźniaków and Kulika streets.
The settlement emerged during the 1940s and 1950s as residential housing for workers of the Wieczorek Coal Mine, with initial buildings following traditional Silesian cottage architecture.
The settlement's nickname 'Korea' originated during its construction period, which coincided with the Korean War, reflecting the local community's connection to global events.
The area features essential amenities including grocery stores, bakeries, automotive parts shops, and Municipal Kindergarten No. 32, serving the daily needs of residents.
The architectural design combines Finnish-style houses from the early 1950s with later additions of prefabricated blocks, representing different periods of urban development.
