Lipiny is the youngest district of Świętochłowice, with history dating back to the early 19th century, when, together with whole Silesia, it belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia. At that time, a folwark, mentioned in 1802, existed there, as part of the Chropaczow estate of Georg Christian Carl Henschel. The folwark, whose area was 75 hectares, was located at the edge of a forest, where Lipiny's main thoroughfare, Chorzowska Street (former Kronprinzstrasse) runs now. For some time, the sole resident of the estate was a voigt named Lipina, after whom the district was later named. Near his residence, several houses of forest workers were later built." - (en.wikipedia.org 15.04.2024)
