Alexander Puschkin Monument

The Alexander Pushkin Monument is a bronze bust located at the corner of Pushkinstrasse and Ackerwand in Weimar. It rests on a limestone base and shows the portrait of the Russian poet.

The monument was inaugurated on November 27, 1949, celebrating the 150th birthday of the Russian poet. It was created shortly after World War II to show cultural bridges between nations.

The monument shows the link between German and Russian literature. Visitors today see it as a symbol of literary exchange between both cultures.

The monument stands at the edge of Ilm Park, directly beside the book tower of the Anna Amalia Library and is easy to reach from the street. The location is close to other important cultural sites in Weimar.

Artist Johannes Friedrich Rogge created a bust roughly 1.30 meters high that captures the expressive features of the poet. The work stands out for its detailed portrayal of the Russian writer.
