Cyryl Ratajski Monument in Poznań, Memorial monument in central Poznań, Poland.
The Cyryl Ratajski Monument stands in plac Andersa and features a detailed bronze sculpture mounted on a stone base. The figure occupies a prominent location in this central area where pedestrians regularly pass through.
Ratajski served as mayor of Poznań and was active in underground resistance during World War II. The monument was unveiled in 2002 to commemorate his commitment to the city during that difficult period.
The monument honors a mayor who shaped the city and shows how Poznań chooses to remember its leaders through public art. The bronze figure in the square reflects a tradition of making important local figures visible in everyday public spaces.
The monument is located on plac Andersa, a central square with good pedestrian connections and shops nearby. You can visit at any time since it stands in a public plaza with regular foot traffic.
Ratajski was one of the few mayors in Poland who both managed the city and fought in the underground resistance. This dual role as both a civil leader and underground fighter makes his legacy particularly notable.
