Brochów (pronounced as /pl/,, pronounced as /de/) is a district in Wrocław located in the south-eastern part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Krzyki district.
Initially a separate town, the settlement was incorporated into Wrocław on January 1, 1951.[2]
The name is thought to derive from the Polish word brochowisko
The name was later Germanized by Germans living in the settlement to Bracke, followed by Brockau.[4]
In 1945, after the war, the town was taken over by the Polish administration, initially using the name Broków or Prochów. The name was later changed to Brochów in May 1946.
The earliest record of the settlement of Brochów dates back to 1193. The village was owned by the Augustinians for over 600 years, until 1810. They also established the, the oldest park in present-day Wrocław.[5]
At the beginning of the 20th century Brockau was already an urban settlement, having had a city hall since 1908. On June 1, 1939, Brockau was granted city rights.
The capture of Brockau by Soviet troops during World War II took place on February 19, 1945. The town was incorporated into Wrocław on January 1, 1951.
In 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, Brochów became one of the city's 48 districts.[6]
