This feisty fellow mounted on horseback commemorates the 15th Poznań Lancers Regiment, which fought against the Bolsheviks in 1920 and with the Poznań Army in 1939. The original was created by Mieczysław Lubelski (a student of Xawery Dunikowski) and Adam Ballenstaedt and unveiled in 1927, but it was destroyed by the Nazis during World War II. The version that exists today was installed in 1982 and created by Józef Murlewski and Benedykt Kasznia and is the site of military ceremonies and the annual Poznań Lancers Day event (April 20-22 in 2018).
