The article analyzes the way memorials create local identity both by their shape and their commemorative content. By using the Oskar Hansen’s concept of Closed Form and Open Form it shows how memorials influence the public space they are situated in. Monuments which are characterized by Closed Form are inaccessible and oppressive by contrast to those which are interactive and can be defined in terms of Open Form. First group of monuments turns out to be founded to commemorate events and figures of social and political history of Poznan, whereas the second group proves to be representing objects which take part in the commemoration based on imagined and symbolic sphere. Both groups of memorials form different local identity of Poznan inhabitants and they do that by several means, but the most important feature of this differentiating process results from the analysis of the shape of memorials.
