It was unveiled in 2006. In this way, a tribute was paid to the great scientist. The most famous citizen of Gdansk was not only an astronomer, he was also a mathematician and a designer of scientific instruments. In 1640 he founded an astronomical observatory. He also built the world's largest 50-meter telescope at the time. He was a member of the Royal Society of Sciences in London. Behind the monument you can see the tenement house at 55 Korzenna Street, in which he lived since birth, and which he inherited after his father's death. On this building there is a small information board . He died in Gdansk in 1687 and he was buried in the church of St. Catherine. A nice monument, worth seeing.Written June 4, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- maria1b12Prestwick, UK4 contributionsI went to see this eautiful and moving memorial today. It is back where it belongs but one of the town names which line the front and the back of the sculpture is missing. I hope there are plans to replace it.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- pawel_hbgSopot, Poland16,780 contributionsThis monument was unveiled on October 16, 2015 six months after Gunter Grass death and on the 88th anniversary of his birth. It pays tribute to the Gdansk-born writer in the heart of the district where his most famous story was set. The monument shows Grass in middle-age sitting on a bench opposite a statue of possibly his most famous character – Oskar Matzerath. They appear to be in conversation or perhaps Grass is reading to Oskar from the book on his lap which has a snail crawling across it – a reference to the most autobiographical of Grass’ works From the Diary of a Snail.Written April 17, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
