old workers’ houses

Workers’ houses from XIX century.

 

Karol Scheibler (1820 - 1881) was one the first industrialists who, apart from financial gains, cared for the living conditions of his workers. Thanks to him, Księży Młyn was built, which was the largest workers’ settlement in Lodz, a “city inside a city” including hospitals, fire station, a later also a power plant, gasworks and churches of different denominations.
