The mural is located on the gable wall of the building at 39 Karpacka Street (on Freedom Hill). It depicts a key suspended from a white-and-red ribbon, with a panorama of Bydgoszcz shown below it.

It refers to a historical event, namely the handover of the symbolic key to the city by the German mayor (of the city of Bromberg), Hugo Wolf, to the Polish lawyer Jan Maciaszek (who became the first provisional mayor of Polish Bydgoszcz). The image of the key on the mural is the original, preserved key, which is part of the collection of the Leon Wyczółkowski Regional Museum in Bydgoszcz.

The mural was created to mark the 100th anniversary of Bydgoszcz’s return to Poland as part of the “Bydgoszcz is Poland 1920” events The City of Bydgoszcz announced a competition for a mural design related to this milestone anniversary. The winning entry was by architect Dawid Celek.
