Pomnik 15. Pułku Ułanów Poznańskich, Military memorial in central Poznań, Poland.
The Pomnik 15. Pułku Ułanów Poznańskich is a military memorial in central Poznań with a tall column topped by a sculpture of a mounted cavalry soldier in combat. The composition shows a rider above and a symbolic creature beneath, forming a dynamic two-part structure.
The monument was unveiled in 1927 to honor the 15th Poznań Uhlan Regiment but was destroyed in 1939 during Nazi occupation. It was fully reconstructed in 1982 and stands today as a rebuilt tribute to the regiment's history.
The memorial serves as a gathering place for military ceremonies and celebrations, particularly during the annual Uhlan Days festival in Poznań. These events bring together residents and visitors to honor the regiment's legacy.
The monument stands at the intersection of Ludgarda and Paderewski Streets, next to the Franciscan monastery and National Museum, making it accessible by public transport. Its central location allows visitors to easily combine a visit with walking tours of the old town.
The creature beneath the mounted soldier wears a cap with a red star, representing the regiment's victories against Bolshevik forces during 1920. This unusual detail honors a lesser-known chapter in regional military history.
