According to the legend, in 1521 the Teutonic Knights decided to attack Elbląg. When they wanted to break into the city, the brave Piekarczyk cut with his baker's shovel the thick ropes on which the oak grille in the gate hung. The ropes began to break, and the grate finally slid down. Thanks to this, the Teutonic Knights moved away from the city walls.

The Piekarczyk monument commemorates the legendary defender of Elbląg, who in 1521 used a shovel to cut the rope lowering the grate in the Market Gate, effectively stopping the attack of the Teutonic Order on the city.
