[1] Drzymała was not only able to circumvent German building regulations by moving his home every day, but with his wagon-home, became a Polish folk hero during the Partitions of Poland.

The Prussian government regarded this as a measure designed to counteract the German "Flight from the East" (Ostflucht) and reduce the number of Poles.

While the campaign against Polish landownership largely missed its aims, it produced a strong opposition with its own hero, Drzymała.

Each day, Drzymała moved the wagon a short distance, thereby exploiting the loophole and avoiding any legal penalties, until in 1909 he was able to buy an existent farmhouse nearby.
