Nikiszowiec is a well-known neighbourhood and settlement which is part of the Janów-Nikiszowiec administrative district of the city of Katowice.
History
Initially it was the settlement of the Giesche coal mine built on the land of Gieschewald manor (Giszowiec) between 1908–1918 by the mining – metallurgical concern initiative Georg von Giesches Erben.{{Cite web | url=http://www.inyourpocket.com/poland/Katowice/Sightseeing/Nikiszowiec |title = Nikiszowiec | Katowice Sightseeing | Katowice}} On 9 May 1924, the manor was liquidated, and Nikiszowiec and Giszowiec were incorporated into the Janów district.
In 1947 the district became a part of Szopienice. In 1960, both Szopienice and Nikiszowiec were incorporated into Katowice.{{Cite web |title=Magiczny Nikiszowiec |url=https://katowice.eu/czas-wolny/turystyka/szlaki-turystyczne/magiczny-nikiszowiec |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240227131820/https://katowice.eu/czas-wolny/turystyka/szlaki-turystyczne/magiczny-nikiszowiec |archive-date=2024-02-27 |access-date=2024-03-01 |website=katowice.eu}}
