Kremerowska Street in Kraków is a street in Kraków, in District I Old Town, in Piasek. It runs from Jan Sobieski Street in a westward and south-westward direction to Karmelicka Street.
History The street was laid out during a period of intense urban development at the beginning of the 20th century, as an extension of Ambroży Grabowski Street in an eastward direction. Its current name was assigned in 1909 and refers to the Kremer family, who owned extensive properties in this area, including suburban gardens.
Buildings The street's development is primarily residential, characterized mainly by tenement houses built at the beginning of the 20th century in the style of early modernism. A distinctive feature of the development on Kremerowska Street is four tenement houses with recessed central sections and gardens inside the formed block, before the entrance. This type of tenement was not a common form in Krakow's architecture at the beginning of the 20th century.
