Pomnik Starego Marycha w Poznaniu, Bronze statue on Półwiejska Street, Poznań, Poland.

The Pomnik Starego Marycha is a bronze sculpture showing a man leading a bicycle with a traditional Poznań briefcase hanging from its handlebars. The monument stands at the northern end of Półwiejska Street, a pedestrian zone in the city center.

The sculpture was unveiled in 2001 and emerged from Poznań's radio history. It was created to honor a character who had been present in broadcasts for decades.

The figure embodies a radio character from Poznań broadcasts, representing a typical resident speaking the local dialect. It has become rooted in local culture and is recognized by passersby as a symbol of Poznań identity.

The monument is easily reached as it sits on a busy pedestrian street right in the city center. Visitors can view it in a few minutes and explore the surrounding area on foot from there.

The sculpture's face was modeled after a radio actor who brought the character to life over many years of broadcasts. This link between the artwork and radio culture makes the monument a special memorial to the medium that shaped the city.
