Rynek Wschodni
Rynek Wschodni is a market square in the Główna district of Poznań, a broad open area surrounded by older buildings and houses. Small streets branch off from the square, leading to different neighborhoods throughout the city.
The square emerged in the early 1900s as part of Poznań's expansion, and was officially incorporated into the city in 1925. During World War II, the area suffered serious damage, and postwar reconstruction was often incomplete, leaving the neighborhood less maintained for many decades.
The square is easily reached by several bus lines that stop there, and the nearby Poznań Wschód railway station provides additional connections. The broad open layout makes the space straightforward to walk through without obstacles.
A volunteer fire station was built in 1900 at the corner of Smolna street with a distinctive drying tower for hoses that became a symbol of the area. The building was renovated in 2010 and now serves other purposes, yet still defines the character of the square.
