History

The Janówek Villa, a historical residence in Skarpa Powsińska, built in 1913.

In 1913, the Janówek Villa was constructed within thebcurrent Skarpa Powsińska, then part of the village of Klarysew. From 1928, it was the residence of the Fangor family. In 1943 artist Wojciech Fangor, created there a ceiling painting titled Pleiades, with mythological and astronomical motives.[1][2]

By 1933, two villages were located within the area, Janówek and Łęczyca, which were part of the municipality of Jeziorna.[3]

In 1938, the Polski Country Club bought a 50-hectare area in Skarpa Powsińska from count Adam Branicki to build a golf course. In the 1940s, while under the German occupation during the Second World War, it was turned into farmland. In 1947, the land was donated to the city of Warsaw, to establish a recreational area, which became the Powsin Culture Park.[4][5] On 15 May 1951, the area was incorporated into Warsaw.[6]

In 1974, the Polish Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden and Powsin Centre for Biological Diversity Conservation was established within Skarpa Powsińska, with an area of 40 ha. It was developed between 1978 and 1990, and also incorporated the Janówek Villa, and its gardens.[7]

In 1996, the neighbourhood of Prawdziwka, was established in an area encompassing Łęczyca, between Prawdziwka Street, Muchomora Street, Kabaty Woods, and a field near them. It became a subdivision of the municipality of Warsaw-Ursynów, which was replaced by the city district of Ursynów in 2002. The neighbourhood status was reconfirmed in 2013. It is governed by an elected neighbourhood council.[8][9] In 1998, Ursynów was subdivided into the areas of the City Information System, with Skarpa Powsińska becoming one of them.[10][11]
