Route
Repecka Street begins at a T-junction with another county road, Stefan Wyszyński Street. After approximately 200 meters, it intersects with Mieczysław Niedziałkowski Street and continues south, ascending a hill where Repty Śląskie district is located. At the hill's summit, it passes the Cegielnia Pond and runs along the edge of the Repty Park (a former game park), listed in the Register of Monuments on 30 December 1966 (No. A/660/66).[2] It also passes the parking area for the Black Trout Adit, where a hunting lodge (German: Jagdschloss) built around 1840 by Carl Lazarus Henckel von Donnersmarck once stood.[3] The street ends at a T-junction with another county road, Wincenty Witos Street.[1][4]
History
The road linking two of the oldest villages in the Tarnowskie Góry County – Repty Śląskie and Stare Tarnowice – likely existed since their founding. The earliest historical reference to Repty dates to 12 August 1201 (a bull by Pope Innocent III), while Tarnowice is first mentioned on 25 April 1251 (disputed by historians) or 13 April 1338.[5][6]
The modern Repecka Street appears on late 19th-century maps, including a Prussian Meßtischblatt from 1882 and an 1884 map of ore deposits in the Tarnowskie Góry region.[7]
