Krasnal Saper

Krasnal Saper is a bronze dwarf statue in Karłowice-Różanka that depicts a military engineer at knee height, equipped with specialized tools. The small figure displays the typical gear of a sapper, complete with the instruments used for construction and engineering tasks.

The statue was installed in 2010 as part of Wrocław's dwarf collection, which originated from artistic resistance during the 1980s. This movement transformed public spaces into places of expression and humor.

This dwarf depicts a military engineer and belongs to a series celebrating different professions across the city, turning a walk into a playful treasure hunt. The collection reflects how locals have filled Wrocław's streets with humor and creativity over the decades.

This figure is located in a residential neighborhood and is easy to explore on foot if you are interested in hunting for the dwarf statues. Mobile apps can guide you to specific locations, or you can simply follow marked routes in the area.

The Saper carries realistic equipment like mine detectors and construction tools that reference actual military engineers, not just fairy-tale dwarfs. This detail makes the figure a playful tribute to a real profession that shaped the city.
