Pomnik Marcina Lutra w Gdańsku, Religious monument at St Mary's Church in Gdańsk, Poland
The Martin Luther monument in Gdańsk is a bronze statue located inside St Mary's Church, depicting Luther in Renaissance robes holding a papal bull in his hands. The figure wears a characteristic Renaissance cap and stands within the central nave of the church.
The monument was unveiled on November 10, 1883, marking the 400th anniversary of Luther's birth with a ceremony attended by city officials and Protestant school representatives. It was one of two identical works created by sculptor Rudolf Siemering, with the other placed in Eisleben.
The monument was commissioned by Gdansk's Lutheran community and reflects Martin Luther's religious significance for the city. The statue depicts him in Renaissance dress and embodies the Protestant tradition that took root deeply in Gdansk.
The monument is located inside St Mary's Church and is accessible when the church is open to visitors. Viewing the statue near the central nave is straightforward, as it occupies a central position within the church space.
The statue survived the World War II bombings in spring 1945 but was removed during church debris clearing in 1946 and taken to a foundry for safekeeping. After the war, residents left markings on it, including a German helmet placed on its head.
