Szpieguś, Bronze dwarf statue near Hansel & Gretel houses in Wrocław, Poland.

Szpieguś is a small bronze figure positioned at street level near the Market Square in Wrocław. The statue depicts a dwarf character and, like others in the collection, sits directly on the pavement or against building walls throughout the city.

The figure traces back to the Orange Alternative movement of the 1980s, when artists used dwarf imagery as a form of creative resistance. Since then, such figures have become a permanent fixture of the city's street landscape.

This bronze figure is part of a collection that shapes the city and is visible throughout Wrocław's everyday landscape. Each statue has its own character and contributes to a distinctive feeling that makes the city special.

The statue sits on the street near the Market Square and is easy to photograph. A city map marking all dwarf locations helps you find more figures while exploring the area.

The figure is named Szpieguś, meaning spy or informer, a playful reference to its character as a secret watcher. This witty name connects to the original artistic message behind the dwarf movement.
