Lake Malta is also the place where Malta Festival (theatre/ art festival) takes place. The spectacles can be seen all over Poznań but some at the lake and even on its water surface. The name of the lake comes from the fact that the area in the Middle Ages was owned by the crusaders- Sovereign Military Order of Malta or St. John's Order. Nice you visited the commonwealth military cemetery. Next time you are in the area, you should visit some other places in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) which is considered the craddle of Poland: Giecz, Gniezno, Grzybowo, Ostrów Lednicki, Kórnik, Rogalin, Biskupin and many others.
I feel you were little too late and it was too cold to fully appreciate Poznań. It has 4 lakes within its borders (you can sail on one of them). In my opinion, together with the river, thay make Poznań great place, during spring and summer. You have several options to literally escape from the city...not leaving the city actually I don't understand why the Poznań authorities don't advertise the city through its green areas, lakes and the multitude of parks and green squares, available almost wherever you are.
In what as in what but in planning the Soviets were always strong but there was one problem. There was one thing the Soviets did not understand, and that was that you can build a great building but you still have to maintain it, and there has to be money for that, and that was something the communist system no longer guaranteed or took into account because the communist system does not involve making money, which is an inherent feature of capitalism. That is why there were a lot of such facilities and others in communist Poland, but they looked the way they did because nobody cared about them, because there was no money for them, and that was the problem. It was only after the changes in the political system that it became possible to make money on these facilities and eventually they were brought into use as you see it today.
Malta za czasów sowieckich była niczym innym jak tylko dziurą w ziemi i jeziorem na ktorym odbywały się czasami zawody. Dopiero po upadku komunizmu to miejsce zyskalo infrastrukturę dla mieszkańców miasta i swój charakter rekreacyjno-spotrowo-wypoczynkowy. Czyli jak wszystko w komuniźmie: idea może słuszna a wykonanie mizerne.
Chodzi Ci o modernizację za czasów Wituskiego z okazji mistrzostw kajakarskich w 1990? Projekt rozpoczęto w 1982 w tym strasznym PRLu. W czasach kiedy miasto planowano a nie oddawano we władzę deweloperów.
@@flisyk ale zdajesz sobie sprawę że PRL trwał w Polsce od 45r ? a koncepcja terenów maltańskich sięga jeszcze czasów przedwojennych? To teraz proszę porównaj sobie tempo rozwoju i zagospodarowania przez latami 90 i tuż po.
@@ITTom sprawdź daty. Wiekszość prac rozpoczęto i zakończono między 1987 a 1990.Tor wioślarski, infrastruktura trybuny itd. Usypano kopiec na zimowy stok narciarski. Jedyny znaczący ruch w latach 90tych to dodanie "szczotek" do stoku w 1992. Rekreacja w Poznaniu naprawdę zyskała w czasach Prl. Nasi rodzice i dziadkowie ciężko pracowali odbudowując kraj. Nie mieli środków obecnie dostępnych ale wiele im zawdzięczamy.
When it comes to buildings started during the communist era and not completed until the fall of communism, I have good examples in two cities, the latter was even redesigned to a large extent. Both were started in the 1970s and completed after the political changes. At that time they were frightening with their presence, but now they are the pride of their cities. The first one is Opera Nova in Bydgoszcz, which is beautifully situated on the Brda River. The second example is the Center for the Meeting of Cultures in Lublin in Polish: Centrum Spotkań Kultur w Lublinie. Back then, it was supposed to be a complex that included a theatre, an opera, a philharmonic hall as well as conference and exhibition halls. In Lublin, this building was maliciously called Theater under Construction. Before construction was completed, the building was partially demolished and redesigned, but its original functions were retained. Both buildings are examples of good contemporary architecture. When you visit these cities, you must see both of them. One more note, let's hope you don't make a mistake - this is about Lublin in the east of Poland, and not the small town in the west of Poland, Lubin.
One small note. You were in the Allied quarters in the Citadel. You probably don't know that all the participants of the famous The Great Escape are buried there. The Germans again caught Allied soldiers, then shot them and buried them in the Poznań Citadel.
