History of Mościce
The district was built on the site of the villages Świerczków and Dąbrówka Infułacka . On March 12, 1927, the government decided to build the State Factory for Nitrogen Compounds Państwowa Fabryka Związków Azotowych and in May 1927 the construction of the factory district began. Since June 9, 1929, the area was called Mościce. In January 1930 the grand opening of the nitrogen factory took place with the participation of President Ignacy Mościcki .
From 1934 to 1954 Mościce was an independent municipality. On June 2, 1934, the “Za torem” district was founded. The main axis of the newly emerging district was the current Norwid-Strasse, the villa development with flat roofs was characteristic of the functionalism prevailing at the time (“Osiedle” cooperative). At the same time, the construction of the general school at ul. Zbylitowska started (school No. 8 in the post-war period). In 1936 the construction of the doctor's office at ul. Chemiczna and ul. Zbylitowska began, the so-called practice on the hill. In the second half of the 1930s, the “Nasz Dom” cooperative built two-family houses. The characteristic post-war buildings of Mościce are regular houses and trees along the streets built according to the same plan.
Monuments
A bust of Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski, director of the nitrogen factory from 1931 to 1935, was made by the sculptor Stanisław Szendungowicz. The 172 cm high bronze bust stands on a cuboid granite base measuring 126 × 76 × 216 cm. A 248 cm long and 110 cm wide band runs dynamically across the base and is intended to represent the vision and deed that Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski embodied in the times of the Second Republic of Poland. The monument was ceremonially unveiled on October 9, 2012 by President Bronisław Komorowski and Kwiatkowski's granddaughter Julita Maciejewicz-Rys.
In the hall of Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski's villa there is also a 60 cm high bronze bust of Kwiatkowski on a 160 cm high marble pedestal by the same sculptor. There are more busts of Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski and Ignacy Moscicki in the park of the villa. These 68 cm high bronze busts each stand on 168 cm high sandstone plinths. The busts were unveiled in 2012.
A plaque on an obelisk was unveiled on January 18, 1930 in the presence of the President of the Republic of Poland, two government representatives and Bishop Leon Walega to mark the opening of the State Nitrogen Works. After the factory was occupied by the Germans in September 1939, the panels were dismantled by two factory employees and hidden until 1989. During dismantling, the panel broke in two. On October 12, 1990, a copy of the board was placed on the administration building of the nitrogen works. The original of the plaque is in the museum collection of Grupa Azoty SA and is not open to the public.
In 1998 a memorial stone was erected to commemorate the founding of the “Za torem” district in 1934 and the 80th anniversary of Polish independence.
In 1998, a scout memorial (Monument to the Gray Ranks ) by Edward Kupiniak was erected in Wincenty Mucha Park . It is a granite stone on a concrete base with an embedded marble tablet on which the boy scout virtues are noted.

Villa Kwiatkowski
Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski's villa, which was built between 1927 and 1928 according to plans by the architect Konrad Klos , was entered as a cultural asset in the voivodeship's register of monuments on December 17, 1979. It was renovated between 2010 and 2011.
It was carried out in the modernist, neoclassical style. It is a free-standing, one-story, three-axle two-wing building with a bay window on the east side.
The facade of the villa has a risalit with four colonnades and a cornice with balustrades. The north and front facades are regularly designed with five axes, a small portico and a semicircular balcony supported by four columns on the first floor. The south garden facade also has a regular five-axis character, but has a large semicircular terrace that is open to the park with fan steps and a rectangular balcony supported on columns.
Originally the villa was the apartment of the director of the nitrogen factory. Before the Second World War, it served as a kind of representative hotel. During the war it was the location of the general manager of the factory and the field court. Since the Second World War, various associations, city councils and factory departments have been housed in the building.
