Statue of Josef Jungmann

The Statue of Josef Jungmann is a monument dedicated to Josef Jungmann (1773–1847), an important Czech linguist, poet, and revivalist, known for his efforts in developing and modernizing the Czech language.

Key Facts About the Statue:

•	Sculptor: Ladislav Šaloun (also known for the Jan Hus Monument in Old Town Square)
•	Unveiled: 1878

The statue is a central feature of Jungmann Square, a popular pedestrian area in Prague’s New Town (Nové Město), surrounded by historic buildings, shops, and cafés. It is a common meeting spot and a symbol of Czech linguistic and cultural heritage.

A beautiful statue located outside the church Our Lady of the Snows. It is of Josef Jungmann who was a very poet and linguist who had major influence on the Czech revival period. I really enjoyed my visit.

This monument stands in tribute to Josef Jungmann, an 18th and 19th century a Czech poet and linguist. Along with Josef Dobrovský, he is considered a leading figure of the Czech National Revival of the Czech language and culture.

This monument features a Bronze statue of Jungmann sitting on a chair. His left hand is hung over the armrest, casually holding a half unrolled scroll. The sculpture sits upon a granite pedestal with his name engraved.

Not much to see to be honest. Probably one for the locals more than tourists.

Pomnik Josefa Jungmanna w Pradze (Pomník Josefa Jungmanna) 📚

Stoi sobie tuż przy placu Jungmanna, kilka kroków od gwarnego Placu Wacława, ale wielu turystów mija go trochę „na autopilocie”. A szkoda, bo Josef Jungmann to dla Czechów postać niemal kultowa – człowiek, który pomógł uratować język czeski w czasach, gdy niemiecki dominował w Pradze niczym dzisiejszy angielski w korporacjach. 😉 To właśnie dzięki niemu czeski wrócił do literatury, nauki i codziennego życia.

Sam pomnik wygląda dostojnie i trochę surowo – Jungmann siedzi zamyślony, otoczony symbolicznymi postaciami. Człowiek ma wrażenie, jakby za chwilę miał poprawić okulary i powiedzieć: „Panowie, bez języka nie ma narodu”. I coś w tym jest. 📖

To miejsce ma specyficzny klimat, bo z jednej strony otaczają je nowoczesne sklepy, tramwaje i tłumy ludzi, a z drugiej stoi spokojny pomnik faceta, który ponad 200 lat temu walczył… słowami. Wiosną, gdy wokół pojawia się zieleń, plac robi się wyjątkowo przyjemny do krótkiego odpoczynku podczas spaceru po Nowym Mieście. Często można tu spotkać studentów, ulicznych muzyków albo ludzi pijących kawę na ławce – taka spokojniejsza twarz centrum Pragi. ☕

Памятник Йозефу Юнгманну на Jungmannovo náměstí — значимая историческая скульптура в центре Праги. Она посвящена Йозефу Юнгманну (1773–1847), выдающемуся чешскому писателю, поэту и переводчику, который сыграл ключевую роль в формировании современного чешского языка.

Памятник является центральным элементом площади и интересной остановкой для тех, кто хочет познакомиться с историей и культурой Чехии. Памятник Йозефу Юнгманну на Jungmannovo náměstí был возведён по инициативе культурно‑общественного общества Svatobor, которое в XIX веке занималось поддержкой чешской культуры и литературы. Скульптор Лудвик Шимек создал бронзовую фигуру по первоначальной концепции и эскизам Вацлава Левого, а архитектурную часть проекта разработал Антонин Виктор Барвитиус.
