Niemierzyn is a part of the city of Szczecin, Poland situated on the left bank of Oder river, north-west of the Szczecin Old Town and Downtown.
The locale's designation in the Polish language derives from the Slavic given name Niemir.
The area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967,[1][2] and following Poland's fragmentation it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania. During the Thirty Years' War, the settlement fell was ruled by the Swedish king, but stayed part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation[3]. Later on, it passed to Prussia, and until 1945 was part of Germany, within which it was known as Nemitz.
The abandoned tramdepot at Niemierzyńska Street nowadays houses the Museum of Technology and Transport of Szczecin.
