Nikiszowiec is a well-known neighbourhood and settlement which is part of the Janów-Nikiszowiec administrative district of the city of Katowice.

History

Initially it was the settlement of the Giesche coal mine built on the land of Gieschewald manor (Giszowiec) between 1908–1918 by the mining – metallurgical concern initiative Georg von Giesches Erben. On 9 May 1924, the manor was liquidated, and Nikiszowiec and Giszowiec were incorporated into the Janów district.

In 1947 the district became a part of Szopienice. In 1960, both Szopienice and Nikiszowiec were incorporated into Katowice.

The remnants of the original workers' housing estate familoks (specialized multi-family residences) comprise one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated January 28, 2011 and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland.
