Beethoven–Haydn–Mozart Memorial, Classical composers memorial in Großer Tiergarten, Germany.
The Beethoven–Haydn–Mozart Memorial is a 10-metre-high monument in the Großer Tiergarten in Berlin-Mitte, designed by Rudolf and Wolfgang Siemering and unveiled in 1904. It has three sides: Mozart is shown on the first, Beethoven on the second and Haydn on the third, each figure set into its own arched niche.
The memorial was commissioned by Kaiser Wilhelm II and created by sculptor Rudolf Siemering together with his son Wolfgang; it was unveiled in 1904. Rudolf Siemering died in 1905, after the monument had been inaugurated, and Wolfgang Siemering is named alongside him as its designer. Damaged in World War II, the monument was fully restored only in 2005–2007.
Each composer stands in a separate niche, giving the structure a church-like feeling that visitors often notice when they approach it closely. Mozart is shown as a young man in period dress, while the other two figures appear more solemn and mature.
The memorial stands freely in the Großer Tiergarten and can be visited at any time of year without restrictions. It sits slightly off the main paths, so it helps to look at a park map before heading out to find it.
The memorial is 10 metres tall and made up of three sections, one for each composer: Mozart on the first side, Beethoven on the second and Haydn on the third. Rudolf Siemering designed it together with his son Wolfgang, and Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered its construction. It stands in the Tiergarten park in Berlin.
