Christa Wolf Monument in Gorzów

Christa Wolf (born as Christa Ihlenfeld on 18 March 1929 in Landsberg an der Warthe, passed away on 1 December 2011 in Berlin) was a German literary critic, novelist, and essayist. She was one of the best-known writers to emerge from the former East Germany. Her books were translated to many languages.

Currently I read her  ‚Kindheitsmuster’. This book tells about a 1972 return to her former home town, which name is now Gorzów Wielkopolski, to seach for her childhood rememberence. 

This monument is situated near the cathedral, is a cast-bronce by Michael Bajsarowicz and depicts the young Nelly Jordan, who is the strong autobiographically main figure in 'Kindheitsmuster.  The model for Nelly was the wife of the sculptor.
