Waltherdenkmal Bozen, Marble monument at Waltherplatz, Bolzano, Italy

The Walther monument features a marble statue standing on a fountain base with two basins and lions holding the coats of arms of Tyrol.

Heinrich Natter created this monument in 1889 to honor Walther von der Vogelweide, using a 15th-century minnesinger figure as the model for the statue.

The statue depicts Walther with crossed arms holding a fiddle, representing the medieval German poet who lived between 1170 and 1230.

The monument stands in the center of Waltherplatz, which serves as a central meeting point and hosts markets throughout the year.

During the fascist era in the 1930s, authorities moved the monument to Rosegger Park, but it returned to its original location in 1981.
