Story
Marzyciel stands in Psie Pole-Zawidawie, in the north-east of Wrocław, at Bierutowska 65/67, about 8.4 km from the Market Square as the crow flies. What you will see: a bearded dwarf with outstretched arms in a flat cap with a pair of goggles pushed up on it, standing on grey interlocking paving; the edge of a horned helmet from another figure fills the right of the photo. We describe only what the photo and the sources show - no legend is attached to this dwarf in anything we found. Take a moment to look at the small details, and if you are visiting with children, ask them what the dwarf might be thinking about.
History & Significance
Wrocław's bronze dwarfs trace their origins to the Orange Alternative (Pomarańczowa Alternatywa), a peaceful protest movement founded in the city in 1986 by Waldemar Fydrych, whose activists painted dwarfs on walls as a form of absurdist, non-violent resistance. Since 2005 the city has filled its streets with bronze dwarfs, and there are now hundreds of them, far beyond the old centre. According to wromap, Marzyciel was made by Marta Mirynowska and appeared on 13 July 2012. Who commissioned this dwarf is not documented in anything we found.
Inspiration
Marzyciel means "dreamer" in Polish. The goggles on his cap fit a flying or adventurous theme, but no source we found explains the story or sponsor, so we keep the page to what is visible.

Put Bierutowska 65/67 into your map app: Marzyciel is about 8.4 km from the Market Square, so plan this as its own trip rather than a stop on the Rynek walk.
