Discover Starowa Góra

Starowa Góra offers two concrete starting points for planning your trip: playgrounds on ul. Centralna and the history of former Effingshausen. If you are travelling with children, the play facilities can be part of your stay; for travellers interested in the local past, the focus is on the first settlers and a Protestant cemetery. This brings today’s recreational opportunities together with historical connections to the area.

Playgrounds on ul. Centralna

At the playground at ul. Centralna 11, there is a play structure with four covered towers and two slides. Its features include a rope bridge, an arched bridge, a rope tunnel, a rope climbing entrance and a climbing wall. The various elements combine slides with rope and climbing features in a single play structure. The street number 11 helps distinguish this location from another playground on ul. Centralna. If you are looking for climbing and rope features, you can use this specific equipment as a guide.

The playground on ul. Centralna has a wooden sandpit, a seesaw and a roundabout. There are also two spring riders shaped like a flower and a fish, a double chain swing, a play structure, a rope play structure and a roundabout with seats. Here, sand play, seesaws and swings sit alongside spinning and climbing activities. The two types of roundabout are described differently: seats are explicitly mentioned for one of them. Compared with the location at number 11, the equipment here is spread across several different types of play equipment. This also lets you choose based on whether a play structure with towers and rope features or a wider variety of equipment would be more interesting for your visit.

Effingshausen and the history of the area

Effingshausen is the historical settlement that is today’s Starowa Góra. The first settlers came from Baden and Saxony (Swabia) and were predominantly Lutheran. Their origins and denomination give the early settlement’s history two specific dimensions: they point to the regions the residents came from and to their predominant religious identity. The historical name Effingshausen connects this history to today’s Starowa Góra. If you are interested in the area’s development, you will find a link here to its early residents that encompasses both their origins and their faith.

A Protestant cemetery was established in the area of what are now Graniczna and Łódzka streets. Today, it is considered almost forgotten and is in ruins. This specific cemetery site adds to the history of the first settlers and their predominantly Lutheran identity. The historical references are distinct: Effingshausen is the historical settlement that is today’s Starowa Góra, while Graniczna and Łódzka identify the location of the cemetery. Together, these aspects offer insight into the area’s settlement history and Protestant heritage.

Your trip planning can therefore bring together different interests: the playgrounds offer specific features to help you choose a place to visit. Effingshausen and the cemetery, meanwhile, offer a glimpse into Starowa Góra’s history and religious past. You can plan your stay around the topics that interest you most locally.
