Chwała Saperom Monument in Warsaw, Military memorial in Solec district, Warsaw, Poland.
The Chwała Saperom Monument is a memorial in the Solec district made up of six steel pylons standing 17 meters high arranged in a circle. In the center sits a bronze figure of a sapper performing mine disarmament.
The monument was unveiled in 1975 to honor Polish sappers who cleared Warsaw of mines and explosives left by German forces after World War II. This dangerous work was necessary before the city could be resettled and rebuilt.
The bronze reliefs on the pylons show how sappers contributed to rebuilding Warsaw and Poland after the war. These scenes give visitors a sense of the scale of the work these soldiers undertook in the destroyed city.
The monument is located in Marshal E. Rydz-Śmigły Park and is easy to find as it sits in a public green space. Keep in mind that the site consists of multiple separate components spread across different parts of the Solec district.
The central bronze sculpture shows a sapper in technical detail performing mine disarmament. This representation conveys the complexity and precision that this life-threatening work demanded.
