Beethoven Monument, Bronze statue in Münsterplatz, Bonn, Germany.
The Beethoven Monument stands 2.7 meters tall on Münsterplatz square, featuring the German composer cast in bronze with classical robes and a scroll in hand.
The monument was unveiled on August 12, 1845, marking the 75th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, with Queen Victoria and King Frederick William IV attending the ceremony.
Franz Liszt contributed 10,000 francs and organized multiple concerts to fund the monument's construction, demonstrating the musical community's commitment to honoring Beethoven.
The statue underwent a six-month restoration process in 2022, ensuring its preservation while maintaining wheelchair accessibility for all visitors to the Münsterplatz location.
A sealed parchment containing signatures from notable figures of the 1845 inauguration ceremony remains enclosed within the base of the monument.
