Fabryczna () is a former borough of Wrocà Âaw located in the western part of the city. Before the changes in 1991, it was the largest district of Wrocà Âaw.
On 21 March 1991, the newly created City Office of Wrocà Âaw assumed many of the functions previously carried out within the borough. The name, though, remained in use, mainly for statistical and administrative purposes.
Fabryczna is a Polish adjective derived from the noun fabryka ('factory'), and therefore the name roughly translates as 'industrial.' It is located in the western part of the city, on the left (south) side of the Oder river.
Since 1991, Fabryczna has been divided into 14 districts:
The northern part of Fabryczna district was severely damaged in the flood of 1997, especially in the Kozanów neighbourhood, which remained flooded for two weeks. Food and medicines were supplied to its inhabitants with the help of the military. The source of the flooding of this neighbourhood was not the Oder itself but the Bystrzyca, a small river which flows into the Oder in the proximity of Kozanów.
Fabryczna is home to the Wrocà Âaw Municipal Stadium as well as several parks including Park Zachodni, and Park Tysiàclecia. The A8 highway runs through he district. The Milenijny and RÃÂdzià Âski bridges connect it to the other side of the Oder. The dzielnica is the location of the Magnolia Park shopping mall. It is also the home of the Wrocà Âaw Airport.
