Schweissdissi, Bronze monument in Tivoli Park, Mulhouse, France

The Schweissdissi statue depicts a worker wiping sweat from his forehead, standing 5.60 meters tall and weighing 4,500 kilograms.

Installed in 1906 at Place de la Reunion by a socialist municipality, the statue was relocated to Tivoli Park in 1908 following public reactions.

The name Schweissdissi translates to 'the guy who sweats' in Alsatian dialect, representing the industrial workers of early 20th century Mulhouse.

The monument stands at the entrance of Tivoli Park, visible to people crossing the Riedisheim bridge between downtown and Rebberg hill.

During World War II, the bronze statue remained intact despite metal shortages for weapons production, preserving its historical significance.
