Pomnik Sanitariuszki w Kołobrzegu, Bronze war memorial in Kołobrzeg, Poland.
The Pomnik Sanitariuszki w Kołobrzegu is a bronze statue located on Sikorskiego Street in the spa district. It depicts a kneeling female medical soldier holding a medical bag marked with a cross.
The memorial was created to honor Ewelina Nowak, a military nurse who died in March 1945 attempting to rescue wounded soldiers. The Kołobrzeg campaign was among the fiercest fighting on the Eastern Front during that period.
The memorial honors the role of female medical personnel who served with Polish Army units during World War II. Visitors can see how these soldiers are remembered in the community today.
The memorial is situated near the main promenade and easy to reach on foot. Visitors can explore the surrounding area while learning about local history.
Sculptor Adolf Cogiel designed the bronze figure so that sunlight never falls directly on the face. This permanent shadow effect was an intentional artistic choice that shapes how viewers experience the monument.
