Klimzowiec (German: Klimsawiese) is a historical district of Chorzów, which is now a part of the city's Centre district.

The settlement was established in the 19th century, specifically between the years 1850 and 1866, near a mill owned by the miller Klimzy.[1]

In 1868, Klimsawiese became a part of Königshütte (now known as Chorzów).

Following the Upper Silesian Plebiscite and the Silesian uprisings in 1922, Klimsawiese, along with the rest of Königshütte (Polish: Królewska Huta, later renamed Chorzów in 1934), became a part of Poland.
