Park Manitiusa w Poznaniu, Municipal park in Grunwald district, Poznań, Poland
Description
Park Gustawa Manitiusa is a 6-hectare public green space in Grunwald featuring mature American oak trees, various deciduous plants, and a network of paved walkways. A neo-Gothic chapel from 1896 stands at the center and defines the park's character.
History
The park was created after World War II on the site of two former Lutheran cemeteries that belonged to Saint Paul and Saint Luke parishes. This transformation reflects Poznań's rebuilding and the district's postwar changes.
Culture
The neo-Gothic chapel built in 1896 serves the Lutheran-Augsburg congregation as a place of worship and reflects the religious heritage of the district. Visitors notice how the building remains active in community life.
Practical
The park sits along Grunwaldzka Street and offers benches, walking paths, and connects to an indoor swimming pool facility nearby. Visitors can easily access green space while additional recreation options are available in the vicinity.
Did you know?
A memorial stone placed in 2002 honors Pastor Gustaw Manitius, executed by Nazi forces at Fort VII, after whom the park is named. This quiet tribute points to the difficult history concealed beneath the current green space.
