Bzowy Square

Bzowy Square lies in the Grabiszyn estate, in the Grabiszyn-Grabiszynek district of Wrocław, as a green, roughly square plaza surrounded by the roadways of estate streets.

The heart of the estate it belongs to

The square was created as part of the Grabiszyn residential estate, built in 1919-1926 on a 30-hectare area that included former gardens belonging to the Wrocław patrician L. Eichborn. The estate occupied the area between today's Grabiszyńska Street and Aleja Józefa Hallera and the railway ring road around Wrocław. The design for the whole complex was made by Paul Heim in cooperation with architect Albert Kempter. In their urban concept, Bzowy Square, together with the Bzowa Street leading off it, formed the central element of the composition, intended as green space.

Layout of the square

From the north, roughly towards the north-east, the dual-carriageway Bzowa Street runs out centrally from the square, with a strip of greenery dividing the two carriageways. To the south the square is closed by Makowa Street, running east-west. Słonecznikowa Street also reaches the south-western corner.

What stands here

On the green area surrounded by these streets stands a building housing a health centre (an NZOZ clinic). This is the only building on the square's grounds described in the available sources.
