Cemeteries and monuments in Nowe Miasto, Szczecin: Ujejski, Czekanowski and the Railwayman by the station. Three sculptures for a single walk.
Nowe Miasto lies next to the Szczecin Główny station, so these monuments are the first thing a visitor sees. The category holds no cemeteries here, only three figures of very different character: a poet, an explorer and a railwayman.
Pomnik Kornela Ujejskiego w Szczecinie (Kornel Ujejski Monument) is a bronze bust of the poet on a square between the Port Gate and Zwycięstwa square. It was made by the Lviv sculptor Antoni Popiel, and the monument travelled from Lviv to Szczecin over more than half a century. The plinth carries a lyre with broken shackles, a torch and a laurel sprig.
Pomnik Jana Czekanowskiego w Szczecinie (Jan Czekanowski Monument) takes the form of a bench figure. The anthropologist and ethnographer sits on a travelling trunk, dressed as an Africa explorer of the later 19th century. The sculpture stands on one of the paths of Generała Andersa Park, and Czekanowski spent his last years in Szczecin.
Pomnik Kolejarza w Szczecinie (Railwayman Monument) stands on Kolumba street, in front of the station building. Ryszard Chachulski made the 1964 sculpture. A half-naked railwayman bends over a set of points, and the 2.45 m figure faces the station.
Two monuments carry the "Pomniki" tag, and Ujejski and Czekanowski are also tagged "Bezpłatne" (free). After the walk you can look at the historic landmarks of Nowe Miasto, its atmospheric places or browse all attractions in Nowe Miasto. Sculptures from other towns of the region are listed under Cmentarze i pomniki.
