Pomnik Akcji Bollwerk w Poznaniu, World War II resistance memorial near Port Warta, Poznań, Poland
The monument consists of six horizontal granite blocks on a low base topped with a bronze plaque shaped like a flame, featuring an eagle design. It stands near Estkowskiego Street at its intersection with Garbary Street.
In February 1942, members of the Home Army and local residents destroyed German warehouse supplies of uniforms and equipment. The Gestapo hunted down and executed those involved in this sabotage operation.
The memorial marks a moment when local people actively resisted German control, representing how ordinary citizens took part in the struggle against occupation.
The memorial is accessible year-round and located in an easy-to-reach spot near the city center. Visitors can walk around it freely and read the names inscribed on the bronze plaque.
The plaque displays the names of those who took part in the sabotage, many of whom were later killed in Gestapo prisons. These inscribed names transform the memorial into a record of real people rather than just an event.
