Location

The district includes the area defined by Wyszyńskiego Street to the west, and Sienkiewicza and Grunwaldzka Streets to the north. It is also defined by the Oder: Old Oder to the east and the main riverbed to the south.^[3]

The German name of the central intersection, Scheitniger Stern ('Scheitnig Star'), and the modern names of Szczytnicki Bridge and Szczytnicka Street are named after the medieval village of Szczytniki, which is now a part of Wrocław and located behind the bridge.^{[citation needed]}
