Story
Harting is a small, rough-cast dwarf with a bushy beard and a cap pulled down tight, crouched beside a dark wall above a bed of pebbles. In the photo he leans forward over what looks like a thick, rounded object held in front of him, with his gaze fixed upwards. He seems busy and focused, like someone who works with connectors and cables for a living.
History & Significance
wromap.pl lists this dwarf as Hartinguś (Harting), made by Tomasz Moczek and appearing on 2 September 2020 at ul. Duńska 11, and adds that access may be limited by a gate, fence or barrier. HARTING Polska Sp. z o.o. is listed at ul. Duńska 11 in Wrocław. Wrocław's dwarfs grew out of the Orange Alternative, a playful protest movement of the 1980s whose members painted dwarfs on city walls; the first bronze dwarf was placed on ul. Świdnicka in 2001, and hundreds have followed since. Our database uses the shorter name Harting; wromap.pl uses Hartinguś with Harting in brackets.
Inspiration
Harting takes his name from HARTING, the technology group at his address. HARTING Polska is listed at ul. Duńska 11, and the group is described as making industrial electrical and electronic connectors. The statue's tools are hard to identify in the photo, so we say only what is visible.
