Theodor-Fontane-Denkmal, Bronze memorial statue in Fontaneplatz, Neuruppin, Germany.
The bronze statue depicts Theodor Fontane sitting on a granite bench with crossed legs, holding a pen and notebook while his hat rests beside him.
Max Wiese created this memorial statue in 1907, using Fontane's son Friedrich as the model for the bronze representation of the German author.
Each December 30th, residents gather at the memorial for an annual tribute to honor the literary achievements of Theodor Fontane, a prominent German realist writer.
The memorial stands at the intersection of Karl-Marx-Strasse, offering visitors continuous access throughout the year without admission fees or time restrictions.
The memorial features inscriptions on both sides of the granite bench, indicating Fontane's birth and death dates along with his designation as the Poet of Mark Brandenburg.
