De Monn mit da long Stong, Bronze sculpture in Dudweiler, Germany
The statue depicts a lamplighter with a long pole, standing with two children figures in the town square of Dudweiler district.
Created by blacksmith Zoltan Hencze in 1989, this memorial represents the era when gas lamps illuminated streets of Saarbrücken until the late 20th century.
The name 'De Monn mit da long Stong' reflects the local Saarland dialect, translating to 'The Man with the Long Pole' in standard German.
The memorial stands in the Alter Markt square, featuring wheelchair-accessible pathways and informational plaques explaining its significance in multiple languages.
The citizens of Dudweiler funded this memorial through donations, making it a community-driven project that symbolizes local heritage and independence.
