Story
Two dwarfs, two countries, one wide grin. The Polish-Hungarian Friendship Dwarfs stand on the Sunny Boulevard (Bulwar Słoneczny) by the Oder, and the one in our photo laughs with his whole face, a feathery crest on his cap and a fur-trimmed collar around his neck. His arm stretches out as if to shake hands with whoever walks by. Dwarfs say that when a Pole and a Hungarian meet here, the bronze friends both lift their pointed caps.
History & Significance
Wrocław's bronze dwarfs grew out of the Orange Alternative, a peaceful, absurdist 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. These two dwarfs were unveiled on 24 November 2025 on Bulwar Słoneczny, opposite the Monument to the Heroes of the Hungarian Uprising. They are the work of two sculptors, Beata Zwolańska-Hołod from Poland and Gábor Gódor from Hungary. According to the city's website, the idea came from the Hungarian side, and the city then took part in the project.
Inspiration
The pair symbolises friendship between Poland and Hungary, expressed in the Polish saying 'Polak, Węgier, dwa bratanki' (Pole and Hungarian, two brothers). Gábor Gódor comes from Bogács, the same Hungarian town as the Hungarian consul, Noémi Nagy, and the Hungarian dwarf carries a simplified version of the coat of arms of the Bogács region on his back. The dwarfs are listed as Krasnal Przyjaźni Polsko-Węgierskiej I and II.
