Krasnal Rachciach, Bronze dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Wrocław, Poland.
Krasnal Rachciach is a bronze dwarf statue in Wroclaw's old town that holds a book titled 'I was born in Wroclaw' in Polish and German. The book contains stories about notable people who have lived in this city.
The statue was installed in 2022, following a tradition that began in 2005 with the first dwarf sculpture in Wroclaw's streets. This art project has grown into a collection of over 800 figures spread across the city.
The statue represents the literary heritage of Wroclaw through a book about notable people from the city, reflecting the Polish and German connection of this region. The figure stands as a symbol for the diverse history of people who have shaped this place.
The statue is located in the historic core of Wroclaw's old town and is easy to reach on foot while walking through the narrow streets of the district. You can discover multiple dwarf sculptures on a walk through the old town center.
The book the figure holds includes not just text but also a specialized map marking locations in the city connected to the people described. This combination makes the artwork a kind of literary city guide.
