Ulica Kubusia Puchatka
The Ulica Kubusia Puchatka ( German Pu-der-Bär -Straße ) is located in the center of the Polish capital Warsaw and runs parallel to the Warsaw Royal Route .
The street, which is only 149 m long and 23 m wide, was built in the first half of the 1950s and was designed by the architect Zygmunt Stępiński and his students. In their place were previously ruins of backyards on the west side of Ulica Nowy Świat (New World Street) , which were destroyed during the Second World War. The four-story buildings built along the street, some of which have bars, were divided into segments with arcades in between. In 1954, two rows of linden trees were planted.
The street name was chosen in a competition in 1954 by the readers of the daily Express Wieczorny . The election was possible thanks to the political thaw - until then, new streets were mainly named after socialist personalities.
The little tower at the southern end of the street crowns the residential building with a crèche on the ground floor. At the northern end, a metro station was built in 2011, on which line 2 of the Warsaw metro runs.
