# Piekary Śląskie

A settlement in Poland.

## English name

**Piekary Śląskie** — Current Polish Latin-script name, retained in English; no transliteration is needed.

Other forms in use:

- **Piekary Slaskie** — Diacritic-free rendering of the Polish name, used where Polish letters are unavailable; not the official spelling.
- **Deutsch Piekar** — Historical German name, used in English accounts of the town before 1945 and in historical or family records; not the current official name.
- **Piekary** — Shortened name in local and regional contexts; less precise than the full municipal name.

## French name

**Piekary Śląskie** — Same current Polish spelling as in English; no separate French exonym is selected.

Other forms in use:

- **Piekary Slaskie** — Accent-stripped form also encountered in French indexes and travel searches; the Polish spelling is preferred in edited French.
- **Deutsch Piekar** — German historical name retained in French writing about the former German town and in references to German sources.
- **Piekary** — Short form used when the Silesian location is already clear, including pilgrimage contexts.

## About

Piekary Śląskie is a city in the Upper Silesian industrial area of southern Poland. It combines a coal-mining heritage with an important Marian pilgrimage shrine.

## Notes

Deutsch Piekar originally names the historical core, not necessarily every district of the present city.
