Ludwika Narbutta Street, Mokotów, Warsaw | Silent Walking Tour [4K]

History and Present of Ludwika Narbutta Street, Old Mokotów, Warsaw 1. Beginnings (late 19th – early 20th century) In 1897 Georg (Jerzy) von Narbut bought a large tract of land in Mokotów between present day Rakowiecka, Puławska, św. Andrzeja Boboli, Ligocka and Melsztyńska streets. In 1897–1898 he parceled it out. The main artery of this new Mokotów town was what came to be Narbutta Street (also called Narbutowska), running the full length of what is now ul. Ludwika Narbutta. The plan included a rectangular Mokotów market square with its longer sides called Gołaszewska street and the shorter sides attached to Narbutta. Until 1928 these streets had the status of private streets. 2. Interwar period (1918–1939) In 1916 the area of Mokotów was incorporated into Warsaw. In that same year the street was given a new name, in honor of Ludwik Narbutt, a Polish landowner and January Uprising insurgent. Despite the change, the name only formally came into effect in 1928, when private streets in Mokotów were given official municipal status. During the interwar period the street saw significant development with villas and apartment houses being built. Notable is the Szare Domy housing estate built 1928–1931 by the Building-Housing Cooperative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Also, in 1924-1925 at the corner of Narbutta and Wiśniowa an office and production complex of the Polish Radiotechnical Society was built, and in February 1925 the first radio broadcast station in Poland began operations there at Narbutta 29. 3. WWII and its aftermath (1939–1945; post-war) During WWII the area suffered damage although perhaps less destruction on Narbutta than on many other Warsaw streets. Buildings were occupied, residents displaced. There were also episodes connected with hiding people, underground activities, and during the Warsaw Uprising heavy fighting and destruction took place nearby. After the war many pre-war apartments were nationalised, interiors subdivided, and buildings repaired or rebuilt. 4. Mid 20th century development (postwar – 1989) During the communist period reconstruction prioritised restoring housing and infrastructure. Many buildings along Narbutta preserved prewar façades or were modestly rebuilt. The street remained residential with some institutional and educational buildings. 5. Revitalization and today (1990s – present) Since the fall of communism the street has attracted renewed interest. Many of its buildings from the 1920s and 1930s modernist, functionalist architecture with characteristic balconies and ornamentation have been restored or maintained. The street is considered one of the more picturesque in Old Mokotów. It hosts a mixture of residential apartments, villas, some schools, and cultural interest. 6. Name, Recognition, Location The street is named after Ludwik Narbutt (1832-1863), a Polish landowner and insurgent in the January Uprising. Earlier the name referred to the original owner Georg von Narbut. Narbutta runs in the Old Mokotów district connecting Ulica św. Andrzeja Boboli with Puławska. Its length is approximately 1.6 km. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎥 Filming: 🕙 Time - Afternoon (2 PM) 📅 Date - Weekday, September 2025 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☕ Support the channel: Buy me a coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/romanwalks ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you enjoyed this walk, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more relaxing city walks and hidden gems in Warsaw.
