Wojciech Korfanty Avenue in Katowice is a major arterial road running from the city center northward through the districts of Koszutka and Wełnowiec-Józefowiec, eventually leading to the neighboring city of Siemianowice Śląskie. Along the avenue, there are numerous public utility buildings and residential structures from various periods, particularly from the post-war era. The avenue is named after Wojciech Korfanty, a prominent figure in the history of Upper Silesia.

Route

Wojciech Korfanty Avenue begins in the Śródmieście district of Katowice at the Market Square and its intersection with Teatralna Street [pl]. Heading north, it crosses Stanisław Moniuszko [pl] and Piastowska streets, passing notable landmarks such as the former Grand Hotel (No. 3), the Separator [pl] building, Hotel Katowice [pl], the Ślizgowiec [pl], and the Superjednostka residential building. Nearby stands the Monument of Silesian Insurgents.

At the Jerzy Ziętek Square, the avenue intersects with Walenty Roździeński Avenue [pl] (forming part of National Roads 79 and 86, Expressway S86, and Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa) and Chorzowska Street [pl] (National Road 79, Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa). The road then enters the Koszutka district, flanked by the KTW high-rises, Spodek arena, and the Central Mining Institute [pl] near Gwarków Square [pl], crossing Misjonarzy Oblatów MN [pl] and Katowicka [pl] streets.

Continuing northward, it enters the Wełnowiec-Józefowiec district near the intersection with Słoneczna [pl] and Jesionowa streets. In Wełnowiec [pl], it crosses Konduktorska and Gnieźnieńska [pl] streets (Walenty Fojkis Square [pl]), passing by the historic building of the Court of Appeal and the site of the former Hohenlohe steelworks, followed by the Fryderyk colony. The road ends at the intersection with Telewizyjna Street [pl] next to Alfred Square [pl], the Alfred Colony [pl], and Alfred Forest [pl], at the city border with Siemianowice Śląskie.

History

Around 1360, a forge was established by the Roździanka river (today's Rawa river, covered with concrete slabs and flowing under the avenue near the Market Square) at the site of today's Separator [pl] building in the former Kuźnica Bogucka [pl] (present-day Śródmieście). The first written mention of the forge at this location dates back to 1397, in the text of a verdict from the Kraków diocesan court resolving a dispute over the patronage of the Mysłowice parish. The forge's buildings survived until the second half of the 19th century.

The road to Siemianowice already existed in the 17th century as an estate road. At the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, in the area of today's Piastowska and Uniwersytecka streets, and Wojciech Korfanty Avenue, there was a metallurgical farmstead (owned from the second half of the 18th century by the proprietors of Kuźnica Bogucka).

In 1818, in the area of today's Spodek, on land belonging to Franz von Winckler [pl], the "Franz" steelworks was established. In 1860, it merged with the "Fanny" steelworks to form the combined "Fanny-Franz" works, which operated until 1903. Its buildings were repurposed for the construction of the so-called Maria Manor – a factory complex with a metallurgical character – owned by the Kurtok family. It was demolished in the 1960s.

From 1899 to 1922, the street was known as Schloßstrasse, from 1922 to 1939 and in 1945 as Zamkowa Street, from 1939 to 1945 as Ludendorffstraße, and since 11 October 1946 as Red Army Street. On 8 October 1990, a resolution by the Katowice City Council renamed it Wojciech Korfanty Avenue. From its inception, the street has hosted public utility buildings.

During the interwar period of the 20th century, the then Zamkowa Street was home to: Consulate of the Republic of Latvia (at number 16), Zamkowa Restaurant run by Franciszek Matula (at number 1), Adelista Dawid's dining hall (at number 2), Śląski Przemysł Rowerowy ( at number 20), "Polhurt" Industrial and Commercial Association (at number 20), "Steinhoff" chemical factory (at number 20), "Progress" United Upper Silesian Mines (coal sales office, at number 10), H. Schwidewski's gasoline, oil, and grease store (at numbers 37 and 38), Branch of Śląski Kupiecki Bank and "Przyszłość" insurance company (at number 1). At the site of today's Jerzy Ziętek Square, there used to be a railway crossing for a narrow-gauge railway leading to the "Ferdynand" mine.

On 4 September 1939, across from the House of the Insurgent, on what was then Zamkowa Street, Wehrmacht soldiers executed captured Polish defenders of the city – around 80 scouts and former Silesian insurgents, including Nikodem Renc [pl]. In 1945, a branch of the "Papyrus" company from Kraków was opened at number 38.

In 1959, Katowice authorities decided to redevelop the city center, including the Market Square. The northern row of tenements was demolished to widen Red Army Street and initiate the expansion of the city center to the north, which until then had been occupied by the former buildings of the "Marta" steelworks and the von Thiele-Winckler palace. Plans for the street widening began as early as 1938, with the demolition of buildings at numbers 4 and 5. During the 1960s, the so-called Block Zachód was constructed, a series of galleries and service-commercial buildings. The project also involved building high-rises: Separator (1968), Ślizgowiec (1968), and Superjednostka (1967–1972). In 1965, a roundabout at the intersection of Feliks Dzierżyński Street (now Chorzowska Street) and Walenty Roździeński Avenue was built, featuring underground pedestrian passages designed by W. Lipowczan.

On 9 December 2006, a renovated roundabout with a glass dome and an underground tunnel, approximately 650 meters long, was opened. On 3 August 2010, the third stage of the 2010 Tour de Pologne passed through the avenue, and on 2 August 2011, the third stage of the 2011 Tour de Pologne also went through this route. In the following years, cyclists also passed through this avenue.

Later, the avenue was redeveloped from the Market Square to the Jerzy Ziętek Square. On 18 May 2011, administrative proceedings were initiated to issue a decision for a road investment project named "Reconstruction of the road system, public squares, tram tracks, and technical infrastructure in the Rondo–Rynek area for the project Reconstruction of the city center of Katowice". The construction work was completed by 2015. As part of this project, the tram tracks, roadway, and technical infrastructure from the Market Square to the roundabout were reconstructed, sidewalks were resurfaced, and new bus shelters were installed.

Description and technical data

Wojciech Korfanty Avenue runs through three districts: Śródmieście, Koszutka, and Wełnowiec-Józefowiec. It is one of the longest roads in Katowice, with a length of 3,885 meters. It is classified as a county road of the collector road class and is managed by the Municipal Road and Bridge Authority in Katowice. In the TERYT [pl] system, it is listed under the number 38509.
