      Pomnik Grunwaldzki Grunwald Monument: An equestrian statue of King Władysław II Jagiełło in Krakow in Old Town I on Jan Matejko Square, erected in 1910 by Ignacy Jan Paderewski, designed by Antoni Wiwulski and Franciszek Black for the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald (1410) ( The memorial was erected on the 500th anniversary of the battle with the Teutonic Order). Torn down by the Germans in 1939, reconstructed in 1976 based on a design by Marian Konieczny; In front of the memorial is the grave of the unknown soldier (1976). Source Wikipedia google translation from Polish German historians speak of "Battle of Tannenberg", for Polish it is "Battle of Grunwald". Why? : On July 15, 1410 Ulrich von Jungingen's army suffered a defeat against the Polish-Lithuanian army led by King Jogaila, Władysław II Jagiełło and Grand Duke Vytautas. The king later called the site of the battle "loco conflictus nostri ... dicto Grunenvelt". [3] In the chronicle of the Polish chronicler Longinus (Jan Długosz), written decades later, it became Grunwald; in Polish historiography it is therefore referred to as Bitwa pod Grunwaldem. In German historiography, the fight went down as the Battle of Tannenberg, as the Knights' troops were set up near the town of Tannenberg. Source Wikipedia
