Ołbin (Polish pronunciation: [ˈɔwbin], German: Elbing, [ˈɛlbɪŋ]) is a district in Wrocław, Poland, located in the northern part of the city.
Currently, swans of this species can be observed daily at a small pond in Stanisław Tołpa Park [pl], located in the center of the district.
The Breslau City Council made this decision in the face of the threat of Turkish invasion; officially to prevent the complex from being exploited by enemies, but in fact the decision was also part of the resentment against the Catholic monastery complex and its inhabitants.
The area, located on the northern bank of the Oder, was frequently plundered by the besieging armies of Breslau.
During the siege of Breslau in 1945, the buildings in the area sustained less damage compared to other parts of the city, such as the neighboring Grunwald Square.
