History

On 1 May 2005, the statue of the Hungarian poet József Attila was erected in Petőfi Park (former Schlauch Garden). The sculptor Wagner Nándor, a native of Nagyvárad, created the statue in 1955, in response to a competition for the 50th anniversary of the poet's birth. After his death, his wife donated the statue to Nagyvárad according to the will of the sculptor.
