Krasnale Ottuś

Krasnale Ottuś is a small bronze figure on Powstańców Śląskich street depicting a smiling dwarf in traditional Polish folk clothing. It stands near the Hansel and Gretel houses and measures around 25 centimeters (10 inches).

The statue was installed on December 18, 2015, as part of a collection commemorating the Orange Alternative movement that used dwarf imagery as protest during communist rule. This artistic form of resistance later shaped Wrocław's identity.

This figure represents the employment agency OTTO and belongs to Wrocław's collection of dwarf sculptures that represent local businesses and organizations throughout the city.

You can locate this figure using specialized dwarf maps available at tourist information centers that guide you through the network of bronze sculptures throughout the city. Walking to several figures is an enjoyable way to explore different areas.

Each winter, local residents dress this and other dwarf sculptures with small scarves and hats, giving the figure seasonal variations. This caring tradition shows how deeply residents connect with these artworks.
