Komorowski was the parish priest of Saint Stanislaus Church in Gda\u0144sk, a parish that gathered the Polish community in Gda\u0144sk. Between 1933 and 1934, he was the only Polish councillor in the City Council. He was murdered on 22 March 1940 in the Stutthof concentration camp and beatified by Pope John Paul II on 13 June 1999.<\/p>\n<p>The statue depicts the standing priest in a cassock and biretta, with his hands folded behind his back. The figure, cast in bronze, was placed on a red granite plinth. The priest is presented in a realistic, though rather synthetic manner. The plinth features a carved cameo inscription reading: \u201cBlessed priest Bronis\u0142aw Komorowski 1889\u20131940\u201d. The monument is enclosed by a metal fence in the shape of a hexagon. In the vicinity is a commemorative plaque informing about the priest\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place:<\/strong> The monument is situated on one of the main Gda\u0144sk arteries, Legion\u00f3w Street, along which runs a tramway line, and in the vicinity of a square formed in the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century out of the intersection of former routes connecting Strzy\u017ca, Ku\u017aniczki and Zaspa with Brun\u00f3w, Wrzeszcz and Gda\u0144sk. In 1925 it was named Max-Halbe-Platz (on the occasion of the German playwright and novelist receiving honorary citizenship of Danzig). After the war, in 1945, the square was named after priest Bronis\u0142aw Komorowski.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information about the author:<\/strong> Jan Waldemar Kolasi\u0144ski is sculptor who lives and works in Podkowa Le\u015bna.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Condition of the object \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Owner\/guardian:<\/strong> Gda\u0144sk Road and Greenery Authority<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author of the entry:<\/strong> Michalina Domo\u0144<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technique: bronze sculpture on a granite plinth Dimensions: 163 cm \u00d7 78 cm \u00d7 70 cm (plinth), max. 230 cm \u00d7 85 cm \u00d7 70 cm (figure), 400\u00a0cm (entire statue) Object: The monument commemorates the blessed Bronis\u0142aw Komorowski, a Polish clergyman working for the Polish diaspora and Polishness in the Free City of Danzig in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"menu_order":109,"template":"","object_cats":[37],"districts":[48],"object_authors":[146],"class_list":["post-4162","object","type-object","status-publish","hentry","object_cat-monument","obj_district-wrzeszcz-en","object_author-michalina-domon-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaps.gda.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/objects\/4162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaps.gda.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/objects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaps.gda.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/object"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaps.gda.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"object_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaps.gda.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/object_cats?post=4162"},{"taxonomy":"obj_district","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaps.gda.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/districts?post=4162"},{"taxonomy":"object_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaps.gda.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/object_authors?post=4162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
