History of the Stary Mokotów neighborhood

Stary Mokotów is the oldest part of Mokotowa. The original name "Mokotowo" most likely comes from the name of the Prussian owner of the village and was first mentioned in documents in 1367. Although the area has been inhabited since at least the early Middle Ages.

For centuries it was a princely village, closely cooperating with Jazdowem, where the prince was located. Mokotowo supplied food to the Warsaw market. In the 17th century the village fell into decay and lost its significance. In the 18th century Brick factories opened here, majestic villas and estates were built on the streets, and impressive gardens were created on the slope.

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The lands of the mokotowskiego farm were divided and new streets of the current Starego Mokotowa were designated, including Rakowiecką, Narbutta, Madalińskiego and Szustra (now Dąbrowskiego). Stary Mokotów, like many other suburbs of Warsaw, was incorporated into the city only at the beginning of 1916. Buildings for the SGH and SGGW universities, offices, scientific institutes, hospitals and residences were built, preserving the green character of the area.

During World War II, Mokotów was heavily damaged; bombs fell here as early as September 1, 1939. After the capture of the capital by the Germans, Mokotów became an Aryan district. Residents were evicted, and military personnel moved into the buildings. During the Warsaw Uprising, bloody battles took place here and the area was destroyed.

Stary Mokotów is a prestigious district of Warsaw with many squares and parks, interesting architecture and trendy cafes. This is mainly a residential area. At the same time, there are several embassies, many parks and historical attractions here.
