Ławeczka Marii Cunitz w Świdnicy, Bronze bench statue in Market Square, Świdnica, Poland.
The Maria Cunitz Memorial is a bronze sculpture seated on a bench, located in Świdnica's Market Square. The figure holds an armillary sphere and one of her astronomical works in her hands.
The memorial was created by sculptor Stanisław Strzyżyński and unveiled in March 2009. Its creation was part of a city initiative to honor this historical scholar.
Maria Cunitz was a Silesian scholar whose scientific work made her a notable figure in the region's intellectual history. The statue presents her as a symbol of knowledge and learning that continues to matter to the city.
The sculpture stands on the central Market Square and serves as a good orientation point when exploring the city. It is located directly near the Museum of Old Merchants, making it a natural meeting spot for visitors.
The bronze sculpture includes a reproduction of Maria Cunitz's authentic signature from her 1648 letter to astronomer Johannes Hevelius. This detail connects the statue directly to an actual historical document.
