    (Translated by Google) The monument is located in the park near "Skrzydły" and Rondo. A man connected with the Silesia region who lived in such and not other times, however, deserved to be commemorated. (Original) Pomnik mieści się w Parku nieopodal ,,Skrzydeł" i Ronda. Człowiek związany z Ziemią Śląską który żył w takich a nie innych czasach jednak zasłużył na upamiętnienie.

    Pan Waldemar S napisał już sporo o tej postaci, którą pomnik ma symbolizować. Dość tylko dodać, że był to człowiek bardzo przedsiębiorczy, w załatwieniu wielu rzeczy dla regionu pomogło niezmiernie to, że był i członkiem KC PZPR i przewodniczącym WRN, więc wśród samej "wierchuszki partyjnej" mógł sporo wywalczyć. Człowiek dobrze znany na Górnym Śląsku, stąd z żalem stwierdzić trzeba, że ktoś ostatnio bezczelnie wymazał pomnik.. 😞

    It's good that he is standing here with his krykom and cajtongy in the market square. It's good that he's standing here with his cane and a newspaper in his hand - this is for those who are not Silesians.

    A monument that has always stood in this place and is a symbol of the city. A man with whom Upper Silesia identifies, who did a lot for this region in his time. I am very glad that President Marcin Krupa has taken steps to protect this monument by donating it as part of the Silesian Museum. Even though I'm not a big fan of the current president, I appreciate this gesture.

    Monument to Jerzy Ziętek, politician, local government and party official, social activist, brigadier general of the Polish Army. He was a member of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party, chairman of the Presidium of the Provincial National Council in Katowice. Mainly remembered as the voivode of Silesia (1945–1950), voivode of Katowice (1973–1975), member of the State Council (1963–1980). Elected as a member of the Sejm of the Second Polish Republic (1930–1935) and the Legislative Sejm (1947–1952) and the Sejm of the Polish People's Republic (1957–1985). He contributed to the region and is mainly appreciated for this, he initiated the construction of the Provincial Park of Culture and Recreation, led to the construction of the Spodek hall and other facilities that are still used today.

    The statue is located in the Silesian Uprisings Park, next to the Silesian Uprisings Monument and the roundabout named after him. It's good that it's here - in a place that is the center of the most important events. The monument reflects a figure to whom we owe great undertakings, but also a man who was direct in his contacts with people. He never disregarded petitioners or their concerns. There is a kindergarten and a pizzeria adjacent to the park, and nearby there is a skyscraper with cafes and restaurants.

    (Translated by Google) General Ziętek a man of great merit for this region. Few have done so much for Katowice and the Silesian region (Original) Generał Ziętek człowiek bardzo zasłużony dla tego regionu. Niewielu tak wiele zrobiło dla Katowic i regionu śląskiego

    (Translated by Google) Monument to general Jerzy Ziętek in Katowice - unveiled on November 19, 2005, on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the death of former voivode general Jerzy Ziętek, Jorg, at the Katowice roundabout. Shortly after the unveiling, unknown perpetrators stole an element of the monument - a staff. It was re-attached, this time reinforced with a steel rod. The monument is located in the park of Silesian Insurgents. The author of the monument is prof. Kazimierz Gustaw Zemła (Original) Pomnik generała Jerzego Ziętka w Katowicach – odsłonięto 19 listopada 2005, w przeddzień 20. rocznicy śmierci byłego wojewody generała Jerzego Ziętka, Jorga, przy katowickim rondzie. Niedługo po odsłonięciu nieznani sprawcy ukradli element pomnika - laskę. Została ponownie przytwierdzona, tym razem wzmocniono ją stalowym prętem. Pomnik znajduje się w parku Powstańców Śląskich. Autorem pomnika jest prof. Kazimierz Gustaw Zemła

    Brigade General Jerzy Ziętek, a son of the Silesian land, was remembered by Silesians as Jorg, a noble gentleman with an inseparable cane. And this is what, without unnecessary pathos, was immortalized on the monument erected in the Silesian Insurgents Park in Katowice.
