Repty Śląskie

Repty Śląskie is a district of Tarnowskie Góry, established in 1998, encompassing the area of the former village of Repty, which was incorporated into Tarnowskie Góry in 1973. The name "Repty" most likely derives from the Old Polish word "reptać" (to murmur or babble), suggesting a connection to the Drama River, or from the ancestral surname Reptów. Stare Repty (Old Repty), first mentioned in records in 1201, were originally owned by the Norbertine monastery in Wrocław and later belonged to the Wrochem and Henckel von Donnersmarck families. Nowe Repty (New Repty), founded in 1748, was initially a colony and remained a separate village until the 20th century. The area is rich in historical monuments, including the 19th-century Church of St. Nicholas and Repecki Park, which is part of a natural and landscape complex listed in the register of monuments. The park includes the Black Trout Adit, a section of the "Fryderyk" Deep Adit, the Upper Silesian Rehabilitation Center, and the TS Tarnowiczanka stadium. The district is home to the football club LKS Zgoda Repty Śląskie. In terms of transport, the main artery is Gliwicka Street, and public transportation is provided by buses, with several stops within the district. An interesting fact is the planned but never realized tram line through Repty to Tarnowskie Góry. Notable people born in Repty include Bernard Drzyzga, an officer of the Polish Army.
