świdermajer
''Świdermajer'' () is a distinct Polish architectural style developed in late 19th and early 20th century in Masovia along the railroad linking Warsaw with Otwock. The style was applied almost exclusively to wooden villas of the middle classes. The buildings are located in right-bank Warsaw, Józefów and Otwock. Origins The name ''Świdermajer'' was a play on the words "Biedermeier" and "Świder", the latter being the name of both a river along which a number of villas were built and a village between Warsaw and Otwock considered the 'Świdermajer capital'. As local neologism, the word was popularized by Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński in an epigram called ''Wycieczka do Świdra''.Robert LewandowskiStrona o architekturze świdermajer.Home, Internet Archive.
