uda Pabianicka, a small part of one of the quarters of Lodz during the interwar period was a social and cultural enclave of Lodz's German community. Ruda is a nice terrain. Its post-glacial area is covered by clean forests and contains numerous ponds.

The German community in this area was very active in the past. There are many buildings left until nowadays, such as a school, teachers' house, farms, church. Nonetheless, nobody can estimate the number of Germans living here in the past. Certainly it was more than a half of the 80-thousand German minority in Lodz.

The countryside character of Ruda has already been the past. The extensive farms belonging to Fromberg, Agater, Krohl, Bursch and other families have disappeared. Forcing through the woods, one can find old and beautiful Geyer villas, swimming pool, a place where tennis courts used to be and many other. Seeing the cemetery on the hill is also recommended. There are graves of thousands German and Russian soldiers from the I World War there.

Nowadays, however, different people are living here. All that is left are the buildings and the memory.
