Przedmieście Oławskie (Polish pronunciation: [pʂɛdˈmjɛɕt͡ɕɛ ɔˈwafskjɛ], German: Ohlauer Vorstadt, [ˈoːlaʊɐ ˈfoːɐ̯ʃtat]), lit.

Part of the district is infamously nicknamed the Bermuda Triangle (Polish: Trójkąt Bermudzki) due to high crime rate.

[4] Until the early 19th century, the area was a suburban village with fields, wooden buildings, gardens, mills, and workshops of small craftsmen.

In 1808, the walls around the center collapsed as a consequence of the Napoleonic army's capture of the city, and the area officially became part of Breslau.

The second half of the 20th century marked the beginning of a bad reputation for this part of the city, formerly known as the Bermuda Triangle due to its high crime rate.
