Godula (German: Godullahütte) is a district in the north-east of Ruda Śląska, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland. It has an area of 1.8 km2 and in 2006 it was inhabited by 12,151 people.[1]
History
Originally the area belonged to Orzegów, whose landed property was bought by Karl Godulla, after whom the settlement was named. The zinc smelter Godullahütte was built after his death, 1854–55, and operated until 1919. Adjacent to the establishment developed a working class settlement later called Godula, the first 21 buildings were built in years 1858–61. The church of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist was under construction since 1867. Trams communication was opened in the 1890s.
After
Godula constituted a gmina (municipality) that was merged into Ruda in 1951,[3] and as part of Ruda was amalgamated with Nowy Bytom to form Ruda Śląska on December 31, 1958.[4]
