Wojszyce (pronounced as /pl/,, pronounced as /de/) is a district in Wrocław located in the southern part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Krzyki district.
Initially a village, the settlement was incorporated into Wrocław in 1951.[2]
The settlement was first recorded in 1249. Prior to the war, it was known as Woischwitz. In 1936, during the Nazi era, its name was changed to Hoinstein in order to remove traces of its Polish origin. Following the war, the settlement was renamed Uścimów, and later Wojszyce.[3]
In 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, Wojszyce became one of the city's 48 districts.[4]
