Tadeusz Starca Square

This is one of the most characteristic elements of Dobiegniew, and certainly the most visible. This sword glistening in the rays of the sun is, a trifle !, 19 meters high! It is made of stainless steel.

The monument standing in Tadeusz Starc Square was unveiled on September 2, 1979, on the 40th anniversary of the invasion of Poland by the Germans. It commemorates, above all, the heroism of the prisoners of Oflag II C Woldenberg, the largest camp for officers. It stood less than a kilometer from Dobiegniew.

There is also a statue of the Woldenberger on the square. He is holding a briefcase with documents in his hand. Behind the squares, the officer has a piece of barbed wire. The statue was made of granite imported from Africa. The figure carved in it was modeled on one of the camp prisoners - Lieutenant Witold Domański. Like the giant sword, the monument symbolizes breaking out of captivity and creating a new Poland.

How it working

To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.

STEP 1

You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.

STEP 2

After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.

STEP 3

The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!

STEP 4

Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Project partners

Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.

Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
