Gate to the yard of the one of the quarters of estate/settlement Nikiszowiec. Yards are wide and long enough for playgrounds and for rest among the trees and plants, and bright - important for the coal miners. Nikiszowiec or Nikischau or Nikischenwald is a  historical part of Katowice (Kattowitz) - workers estate built in the village Janow for miners, named after the pit-shaft “Nickisch” (after Kurt Nickisch) one of 14 pit-shafts of coal mine “Giesche”. Designed by Emil and Georg Zillmann from Charlottenburg.
