Crni put (Serbian Cyrillic: Цpни Пут, English: Black road) is a neighborhood of the city of Niš, Serbia. It is located within the municipality of Palilula[1].
Location
Crni Put neighborhood is located in the central-west parts of the city of Niš. It is flat and bordered on the west by the Industrial zone of MIN and the two Roma neighborhoods "Stocni trg" and "Jevrejsko groblje"(Jewish cemetery), on the south-east by the the railway (Belgrade - Niš) and two neighborhoods of "Staro groblje"(Old cemetery) and "Kicevo", and on the north by the Nišava river[2].
History
In "Crni put" neighborhood was the first railway workshop for servicing locomotives and trains in Serbia[3]. There was a lot of mud at the end of the city and on the way to the workshop poured slag from coal so that the track was completely black[4][5], so the neighborhood was named "Crni put", which means "Black road". Crni Put is one of the neighborhoods in Niš built mostly after 1878. During World War II this neighborhood was heavily bombed, first in 1941 by Nazi Germany, than in 1944 by the Allies. During 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia the neighborhood would be again heavily bombed[6][7].
Characteristics and future development
The neighborhood is partly industrial, partly residential, and partly commercial. After WWII the city government decided to reserve the area of this neighborhood for industry and banned construction of any residential buildings. After the victory of the coalition of democratic opposition in the local elections in Niš in 1996[8], the new city government revised that decision in 1997, partially authorizing the construction of residential buildings and dislocation of open merchandise markets into this neighborhood. There is a plan of transformation of this neighborhood into commercial zone.
