Story
Landus i Defcia are an adventurous pair of dwarfs perched beside a miniature car at ul. Wroclawska 56 in Dlugoleka, right in front of the Land Rover dealership. They look as if they are about to set off on a grand off-road expedition, maps at the ready and excitement in their tiny bronze eyes. Locals whisper that on moonlit nights, the two actually drive their little car through the surrounding countryside, exploring muddy trails that even a full-size Land Rover would envy. Their cheerful companionship and spirit of adventure make them one of the most beloved dwarf duos near Wroclaw.
History & Significance
Landus i Defcia were placed at the Team Marek Pasierbski Land Rover dealership at ul. Wroclawska 56 in Dlugoleka (Mirkow), on the outskirts of Wroclaw. The dealership, which has been operating since 1995 as an authorised Land Rover dealer, commissioned the pair to add a touch of Wroclaw's famous dwarf culture to their suburban showroom. The dwarfs are among a smaller group of krasnale located outside the city centre, extending the dwarf tradition beyond the old town streets into the wider Wroclaw metropolitan area.
Inspiration
Landus i Defcia celebrate the spirit of Land Rover and the Defender model in particular. The name 'Landus' is a playful dwarf-style abbreviation of 'Land Rover,' while 'Defcia' is a charming diminutive of 'Defender' - the iconic off-road vehicle synonymous with adventure. Their sponsor, Team Marek Pasierbski, is one of Wroclaw's most established automotive dealerships, having grown from a spare parts wholesaler into a full-service Jaguar Land Rover and BMW centre. The dwarfs embody the rugged, go-anywhere ethos of the brand they represent.
