INDUSTRY SYMBOLS TRAIL
Wrocław has its dwarfs, Zielona Góra – Bachusiki, and Radom sculptures of products that the town was or is famous for. In the urban space there are bronze casts financed from the 2018 Civic Budget. The project was originated by Maciej Stępnikowski and Sebastian Pawłowski, and sculptures were created by Sławomir Micek.
Among 14 sculptures, there are 2 bicycles. One of them is a racing model used by cyclists during numerous competitions. The other is a military XX type, where a soldier could fix a rifle. Both bicycles were produced by the “Łucznik” Weapon Factory.
The company called Protekta, which produced gas masks, was also connected with the military industry. That is why that product is one of elements of the route of symbols.
Another factory in Radom was Radoskór, the leather production plant, which had one of the largest tannery in Europe. That is why, a pair of women’s shoes produced in Radom had to be incorporated among the sculptures.
