Eberhardsgruppe by Paul Müller, Monument sculpture in Unterer Schlossgarten, Stuttgart, Germany.
The Eberhardsgruppe is a bronze sculpture by Paul Müller depicting a standing figure of Duke Eberhard I, surrounded by landscaped grounds and park pathways. The composition includes several secondary figures that enhance the historical narrative and create spatial depth around the main subject.
Paul Müller created this sculpture group in 1881 as a tribute to one of Württemberg's most important rulers. The work emerged during an era when monuments honored such leaders and shaped local identity and regional pride.
The monument represents German artistic traditions of the late 19th century through its classical sculptural style and historical subject matter.
The monument sits centrally within Unterer Schlossgarten and is easily accessible via multiple park pathways. The location works well for walking visits, as the ground is flat and pathways are clearly defined.
A comprehensive restoration in the early 21st century shifted how the work is perceived and its relationship with modern park design. The work preserved the original artistic vision while improving integration into the contemporary garden landscape.
