Ławeczka Georga Philippa Telemanna, Żary

Georg Philipp Telemann Bench in Żary - a memorial bench located in the Town Square, next to the Town Hall, in front of the Żary Art Exhibition Hall.

It was unveiled on April 17, 2010 and was created by Marek Szala from Zakopane in cooperation with Kazimierz Polak from Żary. It depicts the composer playing the violin. It commemorates the stay of one of the most eminent composers of the German Baroque, who at the invitation of Count Erdmann II von Promnitz came from Leipzig to Żary in 1704 and stayed there until 1708, conducting the court orchestra. Polish motifs appear in Telemann's works composed during this period.

The facility was built on the initiative of Żary authorities on the occasion of the town's 750th anniversary, as part of the Telemann in Żary project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
