Ligota - Panewniki (German: Ellgoth-Panewnik; also "Idaweiche") is a district of Katowice in Poland.

During Christmas the church becomes a religious and tourist attraction due to its Christmas Nativity scene, which supposedly is the biggest in Europe.

In September 1939, Panewniki was one of the sites of large massacres of Polish defenders of Katowice, carried out by the Germans following the invasion of Poland, which started World War II (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).

[2] During the subsequent German occupation, the occupiers operated two forced labour camps in Ligota: one for Poles (Polenlager),[3] and one for Jews.
