Pyry 3034965 224993500 2008-07-11T10:43:58Z DK4 7298140 Stub '''Pyry''' ({{IPAudio|Pyry.ogg|['pɨrɨ]}}) is one of the southernmost neighborhoods of the city of [[Warsaw]]. Administratively a part of the borough of [[Ursynów]], it originally was a separate village located along [[Puławska|ulica Puławska]] (Puławska Street), which links downtown Warsaw with the suburb town of [[Piaseczno]]. To the east, the neighborhood borders on the [[Kabaty|Kabaty Woods]]. Founded probably in the [[14th century]] as a property of the [[Służewski]] family ([[Radwan Coat of Arms]]), the village retained much of its rural character until the 1990's, most of its inhabitants being farmers or workers at Warsaw factories. However, since then it remains a notable reserve of free space for new residential areas, mostly villas for upper-middle-class Varsovians. Before [[World War II]], Pyry was also the seat of the Polish General Staff's [[Biuro Szyfrów|Cipher Bureau]], the institution that broke the German [[Enigma machine|Enigma]] [[cipher]]. ==External links== {{unreferenced|date=August 2006}} {{Warsaw-geo-stub}} {{coor title dm|52|08|N|21|01|E|region:PL_type:city_source:GNS-enwiki}} [[Category:Neighbourhoods of Warsaw]] [[Category:Biuro Szyfrów]] [[de:Pyry]]
