Ditek

Ditek is a bronze dwarf statue located on Świdnicka Street, a small work of art that fits quietly into the historic backdrop of the Old Town. The figure displays fine craftsmanship and stands in a spot that pedestrians often pass by without noticing.

The statue was installed in 2022 and joins an art movement that started in the 1980s, when such figures first appeared as quiet symbols of resistance. Since then, this collection has grown to hundreds of works that shape the city's character.

This figure is part of Wroclaw's dwarf tradition, a local phenomenon that has shaped the city's character for years. You notice how these small statues are woven into everyday street life, appearing in unexpected places throughout the Old Town.

The statue is located on a busy street in the city center and is easily reached on foot. You can visit it as part of an informal tour while exploring the narrow lanes and squares of the district.

The tiny size of the figure makes it easy to overlook if you don't look closely, yet it deserves as much attention as its larger neighbors. This restraint is actually intentional and gives the work a special quality.
