It was made of bronze in one of the sculpture workshops in Kraków. The marshal is dressed in a military style, wearing a maciejowce cap and an unbuttoned coat. Józef Piłsudski is considered the architect of Polish independence and one of the greatest figures in the history of Poland. He was surrounded by worship when he was in power. For example, in 1931, when Piłsudski was resting on Madeira, Poles sent him one million 40,000 greeting and greeting cards! The Marshal was also worshiped after his death. The funeral ceremony lasted 6 days. The silver casket with the chief's body was first exhibited in Warsaw, and then by train, for many hours, transported to Krakow on a special platform, and thousands of people bid farewell to the Marshal at subsequent stations. To this day, Józef Piłsudski is considered one of the most important figures in Polish history. A man to whom successive generations of politicians and average citizens refer. A personage, which - next to Pope John Paul II - is one of the most commemorated in Poland - with tables, street names or ... monuments ...
Monument to Józef Piłsudski
"We want an independent Poland so that we can arrange a better and fairer life for all." The Józef Piłsudski monument stood in Kędzierzyn-Koźle on November 11, 2018, i.e. evenly on the hundredth anniversary of Poland regaining independence. It was financed from the money of the municipal office and social collections. He was a response to the needs of patriotic circles, which demanded commemoration of the Marshal.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
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!
