Wanda i Rüdiger, Bronze dwarf statue near Hansel & Gretel houses in Wrocław, Poland
The metal sculpture depicts two dwarfs named Wanda and Rüdiger pushing against each other in opposite directions on a street in Wrocław.
The statue represents the Orange Alternative movement of the 1980s, which used dwarfs as symbols of resistance against communist control in Poland.
These two dwarfs form part of a collection exceeding 800 bronze figures scattered throughout Wrocław, each telling stories about local life and traditions.
Visitors can locate the statue using dedicated maps available at tourist information points or through digital applications showing dwarf locations.
The sculpture shows two characters engaged in a Sisyphean struggle, reflecting the determination and resilience of Polish citizens during times of opposition.
