Monument to Wojciech Korfanty in Katowice, Bronze memorial statue in Katowice, Poland

The Monument to Wojciech Korfanty stands as a bronze figure near the Silesian Parliament building, created by sculptor Zygmunt Brachmanski in 1999.

The monument honors Wojciech Korfanty, who organized the Polish Silesian Uprisings against German control and served in both the Reichstag and Polish Sejm.

The pedestal features inscriptions that emphasize Korfanty's dedication to Christian principles and his attachment to Poland's national identity.

Located at 42 Ligonia Street in Katowice, the monument serves as a central meeting point and offers visitors insights into Polish political history.

The foundation stone ceremony in 1997 included the presence of Korfanty's grandson Felix, connecting three generations of Polish history.
