Each city has its own symbol (even if not official), but in Poznan they chose - butting goats! According to legend, it was 2 goats who saved the city by climbing up the mountain (or the town hall according to one of the options) to escape from the butcher's knife. When the owner took them off, he noticed from a height an enemy army approaching the city and was able to warn the inhabitants in time, who successfully organized the defense. Since then, the goats have appeared on the coat of arms of the city and have generally been replicated in various forms.
At 12 o'clock on the Poznań Hospitality Clock, after the chimes, the door opens, the goats come out and gore them exactly 12 times, then the trumpeter plays.
But I want to tell you about one more monument to goats, which is on one of the wonderful old streets of the city (in the park near the church of Fara) - here you can take a memorable photo and touch the goats in memory of Poznan at any time.
Goats are highly respected in Poznań , and in 2013 there was even a competition for the best names for them, and now they are called Pyrek and Tyrek.
