Street name
What do these three titles have in common, and who is behind them? All three of them are associated with the town of Kórnik in Greater Poland, located near Poznań City. Wisława Szymborska, a Polish poet, great essayist, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, was born there. It was also there that Władysław Zamoyski, count of the Jelita coat of arms, who was awarded the Grand Ribbon of the Order of Polonia Restituta by the President of the Republic of Poland, Ignacy Mościcki, died there. And the professor Stanisław Błaszkowiak from the Gdansk University of Technology, a lecturer at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Gdansk University of Technology and a distinguished figure for Polish science. Now they named a street after him in Kórnik Town.
