Karłowice-Różanka (Polish pronunciation: [karwɔˈvit͡sɛ ruˈʐaŋka]) is a district in Wrocław, Poland, located in the northern part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Psie Pole district.

Background

The district includes the area of the neighborhoods of Karłowice, Różanka, Mirowiec and Polanka. Its neighboring districts are Lipa Piotrowska, Polanowice-Poświętne-Ligota, Sołtysowice, Kowale, Zacisze-Zalesie-Szczytniki, Ołbin, Kleczków, and Szczepin.

In 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, Karłowice-Różanka became one of the city's 48 districts.[2]
