The Archer Lady “Łuczniczka” is a well-known symbol of
Bydgoszcz. The sculpture is located in the Jan Kochanowski Park in the vicinity
of the Polish Theatre and the Pomeranian Philharmonic. "The Archer Lady
" has changed its location several times. The sculpture was designed by
Ferdinand Lepcke and was unveiled on the 18 October 1910. It was sponsored by Aronsohn
who paid 7.5 thousand marks to have it delivered to Bydgoszcz. No one knew who
the marble beauty was. Some said it was Aronsohn’s friend wo worked as a supernumerary
in a theatre. Others claimed it was Aronsohn’s daughter. The answer remained
unknown….who knows, maybe it was just a model from Berlin hired by the
sculptor?
