Story
The newest arrival on Plac Solny greets visitors with a broad, crinkled smile. In the photo he wears a small cap, has a weathered, friendly face and sits against a stone wall near a heavy wooden door, as if he has just arrived off a long journey and is glad to be here. His name sounds like he has something to do with travel, and he looks like he is happy to take your photo while you wait for the next bus.
History & Significance
Wromap.pl lists the dwarf, which it spells 'Krasnal Polskiego Expressu' (the app has 'Expresu'), at Plac Solny 16, about 202 m from the centre of the Market Square, by sculptor Marlena Zakrzewska, appearing on 11 October 2025. I could not find any further source on its commissioner or story. The name points to Polski Express, a Polish coach brand, but no source confirms that the brand sponsored it. The tradition behind Wrocław's dwarfs began with the Orange Alternative, a playful protest movement of the 1980s whose members painted dwarfs on city walls; since 2005 the city has filled its streets with bronze dwarfs, and there are now hundreds of them.
Inspiration
The name refers to Polski Express, a Polish long-distance coach brand, which suggests a travel theme; no source I found confirms who commissioned the dwarf or why, so this page does not claim a sponsor. The photo shows a smiling dwarf in a small flat cap, without the usual long beard.
