Psie Pole (Polish pronunciation:[pɕɛˈpɔlɛ],German:Hundsfeld,[ˈhʊntsfɛlt]),lit. 'Dog Field', is a formerdzielnica (city district) ofWrocław,Poland, located in the north-eastern part of the city.
Before 1928, it used to be an independent town. On March 21, 1991, the newly created City Office of Wrocław assumed many of the functions previously carried out within the borough. The name, though, remained in use, mainly for statistical and administrative purposes.[2]
It lies in the city's northern and northeastern parts, on the right shore of theOder River. A part of Psie Pole is one of Wrocław's greenest neighborhoods, and its suburban location makes it an important transport hub towardWarsaw,Łódź and other locations in central Poland.
The PolishGeneral Tadeusz Kościuszko Military University of Land Forces is located in Psie Pole.
Since 1991, Psie Pole has been divided into 11 districts:
Psie Pole is considered to be the site of the 1109Battle of Hundsfeld between the Poles and the Germans, although the existence of this battle is doubted by historians because it was not mentioned until a century later.[3][4]
The local parish church of Saints James and Christopher dates back to the early 13th century, and the settlement was mentioned inmedieval Polish documents under itsOld Polish namePzepole (1206) andPsepole (1266).
DuringWorld War II, the Germans established and operated a femalesubcamp of theGross-Rosen concentration camp in the district.[5]
