  • Three leading ladies drove in from Krakow to help me explore the old town of Poznań. They heard it was the best place to visit on a Thursday night so we went to find some food and walk around this great city.
    Join us on this walking tour and travel vlog as we look at the old square, old town, visit St. Stanislaus, and eat a wonderful meal at a local Indian restaurant. Of course, we will also show you the infamous St. Martin croissants and some Italian cuisine I had earlier in the day. Once we eat, we will see what the city looks like under the lights.
    If you stay long enough, you can see some other restaurants and shops and things to do outside of the old town.
    This is the second of two parts exploring Poznań. This first part focused on the surrounding streets and a tour of several cemeteries, while the second focuses only on the old town as well as different restaurant options.

    37:30 This old tram is parked next to one of the most beautiful shopping centers in the world, Stary Browar. This place is a combination of an art gallery and commercial and service functions. Poznań-style duck with steamed dumplings and red cabbage, pyra z gzikiem(jacket potato with herb cottage cheese), czernina("Black soup" is a Polish soup traditionally made of duck blood and clear poultry broth with dried fruit and pasta), schneka z glancem(snail-shaped yeast roll with icing topping),zupa z korbola (pumpkin soup)- these are the iconic dishes of the regional cuisine.

    Poznań and its inhabitants are stereotypically known for their thriftiness, punctuality and stinginess. I have family there and I can confirm that. I would also add that they are selfish, formal and stiff. They pay a lot of attention to perfectionism, to material factors, to show, while hiding weaknesses. There's a lot of artificiality, calculation and posturing in it. Even the funeral wake was more like an official, stiff party than a family, emotional gathering.
    Greater Poland and Poznań became part of Prussia much later than, for example, Western Pomerania, in 1793, after the second partition, when the First Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was falling. In the 19th century, Poles from there competed with German settlers in terms of economy and not in combat (so-called organic work). Its aim was to show economic skills, not insurgent skills, in the spirit of romanticism, as in the other partitions.
    4:23 These tenement houses on the side of the town hall were rebuilt after the Second World War, just like the Old Town of Warsaw. From the outside, each one looks like a separate house, with a separate address. If you looked inside or at the back of these tenement houses - from the side of this disgusting, communist gallery - you would see buildings with staircases from the 1950s and 1960s and the same apartments.

      @TravelwithMrJon  4 месяца назад +1

      @jarekjaroslaw3307 That's a cool fact about the tenement houses and the "back side." Is that also why the communist gallery building is there or is that for some other purpose? Talk about an eye sore compared to the rest of the square.

      @@TravelwithMrJon The decisions of communist decision-makers were often nonsense. Originally, in the place of the Poznań cloth hall, the cloth hall was to be rebuilt in a Renaissance shape, just like in Krakow. The city scale was rebuilt on the site of the demolished New Town Hall from the 19th century, and a modernist, hideous design replaced the cloth hall. A bit like the "German" tenement houses in the Katowice market square, where only in the times of the Polish People's Republic they were demolished and replaced with architectural "monsters". I don't understand why, during the renovation of the market square, the cloth hall was not reconstructed and this abomination was not blown up. An empty square would be better.
      Some interesting facts:
      The German Emperor built in Poznań just before World War I the youngest royal castle in Germany and one of the youngest in all of Europe. This was to confirm German domination in these lands forever. Just a few years later, the empire fell to the republic, and Poznań returned to Poland in 1919.

    Dlaczego w centrum Poznania ciągle są jakieś rozkopy? Ilekroć tam jestem, to albo bezpośrednio na Rynku coś jest rozkopane, albo w bezpośredniej okolicy. Dlaczego poznaniacy nie protestują przeciwko istnieniu na samym środku Rynku tych dziwnych budowli rodem z PRL? Nigdy nie mogłem tego zrozumieć. Rynek sam w sobie byłby ładny, gdyby tylko usunąć te budowle, które po prostu są koszmarne.

      @@TravelwithMrJon One of these buildings (the bookstore) is Arsenał - it's pretty universally hated, but basically protected by the City's Historic Preservation Officer (Miejski Konserwator Zabytków), who has held the post for a very long time and is a big fan of preserving all modernist Architecture, including a lot of PRL-era buildings.
      The other building is the Military Museum, owned by the central government of Poland. Cooperating with them over the last few years has been... hard.
      Hopefully we can reach a time when both those buildings will be replaced by something that fits the rest of Stary Rynek! It's a shame it hasn't happened during this recent construction.
