Warszawianka Warszawa is a former Polish sports club from Warsaw. Founded in 1921 by the famous Warsaw families of Luxemburgs and Loths (the Loths were also co-creators of Polonia Warszawa). Hues - black-white, the logo consisted of a black capital letter W.

History

At first, club's main effort was concentrated on soccer. Soon, Warszawianka's players achieved many successes, including championship of Warsaw (1925) and promotion to Polish Soccer League (1927). Interesting is the fact that the team managed to stay in the League until its last interwar season (1939). The last season was unfinished because of joint German and Soviet invasion on Poland. Warszawianka was then 9th (out of 10 teams) and most probably would have been relegated, had it not been for the war. In the years 1927-1939 Warszawianka was never among top teams of the League, always flirting with relegation. After the war, its soccer team never managed to return to the League, and was eventually disbanded in 1971.

During the years, more sports sections were added to the club. These included basketball, ice-hockey, cycling, track and field, fencing and (since 1999) - swimming. The biggest successes in club's history were those of track-and-fielders. Because of war and destruction of Warsaw, Warszawianka's position as a major Polish sports organization weakened and in the late 40s it did not even exist. At the beginning of the 50s the club was brought back to life and in 1961 its new sports center was built. The club's soccer stadium, modern by pre-war standards, now is in ruin.

Among Warszawianka's most famous athletes, one can single out:

* Aleksander Szenajch (track and field) - 1924 Olympics in Paris,
* Janusz Kusociński (track and field) - 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles,
* Janusz Kalbarczyk (speedskating) - 1936 Olympics Garmisch-Partenkirchen
* Emil Ochra (fencing) - 1960 and 1964 Olympics.
* Stanisław Baran, soccer player.
