@Lena we see a part of Fortress Posen (Festung Posen). More info about fortifications in Poznan you can find here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozna%C5%84_Fortress
First photo show a model 100 years ago Poznan, second photo the same place via google maps. More photos of fortress model on my website http://poznanmojemiasto.com/galeria-3-fortyfikacje-poznanskie/twierdza-poligonalna/makieta-lewobrzeznego-rdzenia-twierdzy-poznan/

Interesting. On the construction site in the upper right corner of the google shot there appears to be a remaining trace of the fortress wall
