The stone pedestal, or rather a ball in the shape of a globe, is to refer to the city's founder/benefactor, i.e. Mr. Wander Wegge, a businessman from Brazil who donated PLN 1.3 million for the renovation of the market square and financially supported local associations. In 2014, each of the associations received EUR 1,000. Weege comes from Pomerode, Santa Catarina in the south of Brazil, but his ancestors come from Resko. They left here "in search of bread" over 150 years ago, in the times of the Great Emigration.
The stone ball was placed at the intersection of Wojska Polskiego and Jedności Narodowej streets in honor of the founder. The ball rotates around its axis, is illuminated, and there is a mini fountain under the ball. On the stone globe, apart from the outline of the continents, two cities were marked: Resko and Pomerode in Brazil.
