Silly question, but what was (is) the difference between Breslau-Gandau and Breslau-Schöngarten?
Both are todays Wroclaw or am I wrong here?

Tried the internet, but I feel like I am going round in circles.

Since you probably know, easier to ask....:o

The difference is like between Heathrow and Gatwick. :)
Breslau Gandau was in the village Klein Gandau, now it is developed and known as Mały Gądów district within the city. Breslau Schoengarten was at the village Strachau, later Germanised to Schoengarten, and now still operational as Strachowice.
It is more less the place, I think.
