Przytulisko dla bezdomnych w Poznaniu, Modernist homeless shelter in Poznań, Poland.
The shelter features separate entrances for men and women, with bathrooms located in the basement level and dedicated spaces for temporary accommodation.
Construction of the shelter began in September 1928 and finished in January 1930, following designs by architect Władysław Czarnecki inspired by Berlin facilities.
The building represents the first modern homeless shelter in Poland, marking a shift in approach to social welfare architecture in the country.
The facility maintains capacity for 200 residents, providing warm meals and employment guidance while operating under specific daytime access regulations.
During World War II, German forces converted the shelter into a military hospital, and later it served as an infectious disease ward until recent years.
