The area where Podgórna and Św. Marcin converge has in the past been known for one thing – its super all night chicken stand. Now, at least as of September 19, 2009, it’s known for a 2.5 metre tall bronze cast of Hipolit Cegielski. Unveiled by his granddaughter, the statue commemorates one of the great industrialists of 19th century Poznań, and the man who founded the Cegielski factory. Not just a fat cat though, Cegielski was known for his philanthropy and patriotism.
