Story
Aurer — also known as the Angelic Dwarf — brings a touch of heaven to Osiedle Aura on the outskirts of Wroclaw. This little bronze figure, complete with tiny wings and a beatific expression, guards the residential estate on ul. Gen. S. Grota Roweckiego 114b. Neighbours say Aurer chose this quiet corner of the city because angels prefer places where real everyday life happens, away from the tourist trail and the bustle of the market square.
History & Significance
Aurer stands at ul. Gen. S. Grota Roweckiego 114b on Osiedle Aura, a residential development in Wroclaw. The name 'Aurer' is derived directly from 'Aura', the estate's name, combined with a playful angelic connotation. The dwarf was placed to represent the residential community and serve as a local guardian figure, giving the neighbourhood its own personality within Wroclaw's broader dwarf tradition.
Inspiration
The estate's name, 'Aura', refers to the atmosphere or energy field surrounding a person or place — fitting for a residential community that aims to create a welcoming, positive environment.
