Para Kaszubów na ławce, Memorial sculpture bench in Plac Kaszubski, Gdynia, Poland.
The memorial depicts an elderly couple seated on a bench, with the man gesturing toward a building across the street. This bronze work captures a frozen moment of shared attention and direction.
The memorial commemorates Jakub Scheibe, who returned from America in 1928 and constructed a tenement building in this area. The sculpture preserves the story of a family building a new life in Gdynia.
The bronze figures show how Kashubian families spent time together in the city, capturing an everyday moment of connection. The couple's gestures reveal something about how people related to their surroundings and to each other in this coastal community.
The memorial is located on Plac Kaszubski and provides seating for visitors exploring the square. From here you can observe the surrounding buildings and the layout of this neighborhood.
A piece of paper protrudes from the man's jacket pocket containing a personal message. The note reveals his wife's wish to have a view where she could watch for his arrival.
