Pomnik Polskiego Państwa Podziemnego w Poznaniu, World War II memorial near Theater Wielki, Poznań, Poland.
The Pomnik Polskiego Państwa Podziemnego is a World War II memorial near Theater Wielki featuring six stone pillars with metal commemorative plaques and a glass crypt topped by eagle sculptures. The structure sits at the intersection of Niepodległości Avenue and Libelta Street in downtown Poznań.
The memorial was established in 2007 to honor the Polish Underground State and the Home Army's resistance during Nazi occupation from 1939 to 1945. The dedication took place decades after the war ended, allowing time for a proper tribute to this clandestine movement.
The monument displays iron plates engraved with names of Greater Poland residents who died during Nazi occupation from 1939 to 1945. These inscriptions make the human cost of the war visible and personal to anyone walking past.
A multimedia kiosk beside the memorial offers information in several languages about the Polish Underground State and the Home Army. The site sits at a busy street intersection downtown, making it easy to find and accessible at any time.
The structure mixes rough stone textures with rusted metal elements in a deconstructivist design that deliberately looks fragmented. This visual approach mirrors the broken pieces and scars that war left behind.
