Neighbourhood of Warsaw, Poland

Opacz Wielka (Polish: [ˈɔ.pat͡ʂ ˈvjɛl.ka]) is a neighbourhood, and City Information System area, in the city of Warsaw, Poland.^[1] It is a residential area consisting of single-family detached homes.^[2]

The oldest records that mention it date to the early 16th century. In 19th century, from Opacz Wielka was separated the village of Salomea. The area was incorporated into the nearby Warsaw in 1951.^[3][4]

The village of Opacz was founded at the end of the 15th century, alongside modern Jutrzenki Street. It was owned by the Opacki family of the clan of Prus.^[5] In 1528, the village, along with its surrounding farmlands, measured approximately 6 lans, an equivalent of around 102 ha (0.39 sq mi).^[6] In the 18th century, it was acquired by Arnold Anastazy Byszewski, the lieutenant general of the Crown Army, and the aide-de-camp of King Stanisław August Poniatowski, becoming part of his large landed estate.^[6][7] In the 19th century, the hamlet of Salomea was separated from the northwestern portion of Opacz.^[6] By 1827, Opacz was divided into two settlements, Opacz Duża (lit. ‘Large Opacz‘) and Opacz Mała (lit. ‘Opacz Mała‘), which had 141 and 72 residents, respectively.^[8] Following the abolition of serfdom in 1864, Załuski was incorporated into the municipality of Skorosze.^[9] In the late 19th century, three small ponds, known as Załuski Clay Pits, formed to the southeast of Opacz, from the flooded pitss, left after the excavation of clay for the local brickworks industry.^[10]

The area of Opacz began to develop rapidly throughout the early 20th century.^[6] In 1927, the tracks of the Electric Commuter Railway (now operated by the Warsaw Commuter Railway) were constructed with stations in Opacz and Salomea.^[6].^[11][12] In the 1930s, a hamlet, originally known as Opacz, and now as Opacz-Kolonia, was founded to the southwest of Opacz Duża.^[13] On 1 April 1939, Opacz Duża, and a northwestern portion of Opacz-Kolonia, then named Opacz-Parcela, were incorporated to the new municipality of Okęcie. Opacz Mała, as well as the remaining portion of Opacz-Kolonia, remained within the municipality of Skorosze.^[14] In 1943, Opacz-Parcela and Opacz Duża had 408 and 347 residents, respectively.^[15][16]

In 1943, Okęcie had a population of 10,699 people, while Zbarż and Gorzkiewki had 237 and 136 residents respectively.^[17] On 6 March 1944, while Opacz-Parcela was under German occupation during the Second World War, six officers of the Home Army were captured in the village by the Volksdeutsche Nazi sympathizers, and executed by the Field Police Corps. In May 1944, a division of the Directorate of Diversion of the Home Army, executed five people responsible for the capture of Polish resistance soldiers, while two more were killed in two weeks later.^[6][18] On 15 May 1951, Opacz Duża and Opacz-Parcela were incorporated into the city of Warsaw. Opacz-Kolonia and Opacz Mała remained as separate villages, outside the city boundaries.^[19][20]

On 19 May 2004, the district of Włochy was subdivided into areas of the City Information System, with Opacz Wielka becoming one of them, including the historic areas of Opacz Duża and Opacz-Parcela.^[1][21][22] During their construction, the entirety of the largest pond, and portion of the second largest pond of the Załuski Clay Pits, were drained and built over.^[10]

Opacz Wielka is a low-rise residencial area, consisting of the single-family detached homes. It also includes instances of storage and manufacture buildings, and farmland.^[2]

In the southeastern portion of the neighbourhood, near Emaliowa Street, are located Załuski Clay Pits, two small artificial lakes.^[10]

In southern Salomea, at the boundary with Opacz Wielka, is located the Warszawa Salomea railway station operated by the Warsaw Commuter Railway.^[23]

At the southern and eastern boundary of Opacz Wielka are located two intersecting expressways that form part of the ring road around Warsaw. They are the Salomea–Wolica Route in the east, and the expressway S2 in the south.^[21][22]

Opacz Wielka is a City Information System area, located in the city of Warsaw, Poland, within the southwestern portion of the district of Włochy. Its northern border is determined in a horizontal like to the south of the Warszawa Salomea railway station, stretching between Badylarska Street and Działkowa Street. Its eastern border is determined by Działkowa Street, and in a straight line continuing to the south to Finałowa Street. To the south, its border is determined by the city boundary with the municipality of Raszyn, particularly based on Finałowa Street, around the Załuski Clay Pits, and Rebusowa Street, and by the boundary of the municipality of Michałowice, partially based on Rebusowa Streer. The western boundary is determined by Badylarska Street.^[1]

It borders Salomea to the north, Okęcie, and Załuski to the east, municipality of Raszyn to the south, and the municipality of Michałowice to the south-west, and Skorosze to the north-west. Its northwestern boundary forms border with the district of Ursus, while its southern boundary forms the city border, with Pruszków County.^[1]
