Stary Marych Monument

Highlight • Monument

A monument to the legendary, fictional character of Stary Marych (a typical Poznań citizen who speaks the Poznań dialect), created by Juliusz Kubel for the needs of the Poznań Polish Radio station. Marian Pogasz read radio plays and it is his face that the monumental Stary Marych has.

The idea of erecting the monument was conceived in the circles of the Poznań editorial office of "Gazeta Wyborcza" in 1998. It was then that a decision was made to announce a plebiscite under the title Poznaniak na kokół! Out of many characters (including Cyryl Ratajski, Edward Raczyński, Wiktor Dega), Stary Marych was chosen in an open vote – the only proposed fictional character. The author of the project was an artist from Poznań, raised in Łazarz - Robert Sobociński. The unveiling took place on March 21, 2001 at the northern end of ul. Półwiejska in the city center. It was the 90th anniversary of the birth of Stanisław Strugarek - the popularizer of the Poznań dialect, the first day of spring and the official opening of the bicycle season. The sculpture shows Marych leading a bicycle (with a traditional Poznań portfolio hanging over the handlebars), from the side of the so-called Ceglorz (Zaklady Cegielskiego), towards the center.

The place where the monument was set up perfectly matched the streams of pedestrians following the promenade (Polwiejska Street). The sculpture is a popular place to take commemorative photos from Poznań.

Stary Browar

Highlight • Monument

The Stary Browar (“Old Brewery”) is a cultural and business center opened on November 5, 2003 in the center of the Polish city of Poznań. It is located in the building of the former Hugger brewery, which was built in 1876 and was used until 1980. The brewery was founded on this site in 1844 by master brewer Ambrosius Hugger from Württemberg. His sons Julius and Alfons Hugger erected today's building as part of a major investment project in 1876. In 1918, a total of 72,000 hectoliters of beer per year were produced in the huge industrial brewing plants of Gebr. Hugger Bierbrauerei AG.[1][2]

The original exterior design of the brewery was painstakingly reconstructed as part of the conversion for the new use and was thus largely preserved. The shopping and business area consists of around 100 shops on four floors, offices and numerous restaurants, bars and cafes. The center also includes exhibitions and an art courtyard where concerts, theater performances and other events from various cultural areas take place.

The Stary Browar was recognized in 2005 as part of the Design and Development Awards of the International Council of Shopping Centers for the underlying concept of combining culture and trade as well as for the architectural design. An expansion was opened on March 11, 2007, bringing the total area to approximately 122,000 square meters and expected to double the number of stores. The total costs for both construction phases amounted to around 135 million euros.

The Stary Browar belonged to the entrepreneur Grażyna Kulczyk, who sold it;[3] it is now owned by the fund company Deutsche Asset Management.[4] Source: Wikipedia

Radial R-5 Cycle Path (EuroVelo 9 Alternative)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Radial R-5 trail with great surface, running parallel to EuroVelo R-9, just across the road. I definitely recommend riding this site instead of sticking to the trail if we are going "in transit". Driving the now designated, official EV9 trail means driving over damaged pavement, bumps.
