East Prussian plebiscite memorial, Historical memorial in Olsztyn, Poland.

The East Prussian plebiscite memorial is an architectural structure in central Olsztyn that marks a significant regional vote. The site features informational plaques that explain the context and outcomes of this territorial decision.

The original memorial was erected in 1928 to commemorate the 1920 vote when regional residents chose between Germany and Poland. In 1972 it was replaced by a new structure dedicated to the region's national liberation.

The memorial reflects the mixed heritage of this region, where German and Polish communities once coexisted. Visitors today can sense this divided past through the inscriptions and the way the monument sits in the urban landscape.

The memorial is located in the city center and is easy to reach on foot with clear signage. Visitors will find a comfortable setting to read the inscriptions and historical information at their own pace.

The memorial was not built once but twice, reflecting the shifting political history of this border region. This transformation shows how monuments themselves become witnesses to the region's changing past.
