Krasnal Dziabomir, Dwarf statue in Przedmieście Świdnickie, Wrocław, Poland.
Krasnal Dziabomir is a bronze figure in Wrocław holding a book titled 'I was born in Wrocław'. The book appears in both Polish and German, and this detail distinguishes the sculpture among the many dwarf statues found throughout the city.
The statue was installed in February 2019 as part of Wrocław's collection of dwarf sculptures. This collection originated from the Orange Alternative movement, an anti-communist initiative that began in the 1980s.
The book that Dziabomir holds contains thirty biographical stories of notable people born in Wrocław. These stories connect visitors with the lives of individuals who shaped the city.
This figure is located in the Przedmieście Świdnickie neighborhood among more than 800 dwarf sculptures scattered throughout Wrocław. Visitors can find it using specialized maps or joining guided tours that lead to these statues.
The book that the figure holds serves as a guide to locations honoring important local personalities. This unusual approach combines sculpture with literature, creating a kind of cultural guidebook in bronze form.
