my work ::bamberka:: has been featured in a german magazine
"P+" www.pplus-magazine.eu








Bamberka is a statue of a woman dressed in characteristic folk costume, carrying pails of water. It’s situated on a little well in the Old Town Square, Poznań.
The name comes from a southern German region - Frankonia - Bamberg - from where German settlers came to Poznań by official invitation from the city fathers and bishop Krzysztof Szembek.
Between 1719-50 several hundred farming families settled in the surrounding villages. They came to repopulate the region after the devastation of war and cholera.

Bambers were to help the city and region recover its prosperity by cultivating the abandoned fields. For this they were given special privileges and official support from the city. Between the wars Bamber was synonymous with a wealthy farmer but today in the Poznań dialect, calling somebody a Bamber means that they are a simple peasant from outside of Poznań. Times change, meanings too.

To keep the Bamber traditions alive, their costumes, food and music, the Poznań Bamber Society was established. A special festival is organised every year on the anniversary of the signing of the first contract (1 VIII 1719) always on the first Saturday of August with concerts, folk presentations and food tasting.
