Pomnik Łodzian Przełomu Tysiącleci

Pomnik Łodzian Przełomu Tysiącleci is a public monument with four bronze figures located in Plac Katedralny in the center of Łódź. The figures sit in thoughtful poses and represent leading textile manufacturers from the 19th century.

The monument was erected in the early 20th century to honor Izrael Poznański, Karl Wilhelm Scheibler, and Henryk Grohman. These entrepreneurs played a key role in transforming Łódź into an industrial city.

The monument reflects the textile industry that shaped Łódź and remains visible throughout the city today. The four bronze figures tell the story of the people who built this industrial heritage.

The monument stands on a central square and is easy to reach on foot, especially if you explore the old city. Several bus stops are nearby, and you can explore the area while walking around.

Unlike many other monuments in Poland, the figures depict private businessmen rather than soldiers or national leaders, and they are shown sitting down. This portrayal emphasizes the importance of economic pioneers in urban history.
