Fencer sculpture, Wrocław, Bronze water well fountain in University Square, Wrocław, Poland
The Fencer sculpture features a bronze figure of a fencer in motion, mounted on a water well base with water flowing from its lower section.
Sculptor Hugo Lederer completed and installed this bronze fountain in 1904, adding an artistic element to the university district of Wrocław.
The statue represents the connection between academic traditions and physical activities through its depiction of a fencer in classical stance.
Located at the intersection of multiple pedestrian paths, this fountain serves as a meeting point for students and visitors exploring University Square.
The sculpture stood as a backdrop during the 2020 social movements, when protesters gathered around it to voice their concerns.
