Where to stay in Osiedle Orła Białego
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Osiedle Orła Białego is a cooperative housing estate rather than a lodging quarter, and its blocks hold flats, not rooms, so a stay here means looking just outside the boundary. Three tram stops carry the name Żegrze. The track along ulica Żegrze runs north-west into Rataje and on toward the middle of Poznań, while ulica Kurlandzka closes the estate along the south. Chartowo lies beyond ulica Bobrzańska to the north-east, and Osiedle Stare Żegrze and Osiedle Polan sit across ulica Żegrze to the north-west.
Pick Rataje if you want the shortest ride in.

About Osiedle Orła Białego
What are the main landmarks in Osiedle Orła Białego?
Osiedle Orła Białego keeps one church of its own, the Kościół Świętego Mateusza Apostoła i Ewangelisty, which stands among the blocks at Osiedle Orła Białego 1/2. Ten blocks reach eighteen storeys. Five falowce and a single five-storey building make up the rest, and a park lies between them along the estate's own road.
Szkoła Podstawowa nr 64, named for Maria Konopnicka, and the Dom Kultury Na Pięterku take the ground beside the church. Fort II stands outside the estate, south of ulica Kurlandzka.
What is the history of Osiedle Orła Białego?
Osiedle Orła Białego went up between the early 1980s and 1993 as Osiedle ZMP, for the Związek Młodzieży Polskiej. Two neighbours on Żegrze carried acronyms of their own, and all three shed them after the political transformation, Osiedle Stare Żegrze dropping ZWM in 1991. Its first flats had no church, and their parish sat on Osiedle Stare Żegrze.
In June 1987 a petition of more than 1,200 signatures asked the voivode of Poznań for a plot, and Archbishop Jerzy Stroba set Piotr Bydałek to the work a year later. The first Mass was said in 1989. The parish of Świętego Mateusza Apostoła i Ewangelisty was erected on 1 May 1992.
Where is Osiedle Orła Białego?
Osiedle Orła Białego lies in eastern Poznań, held between ulica Żegrze on the north and west, ulica Kurlandzka on the south and ulica Ślężańska on the east.
