Pomnik Marcina Lutra w Gdańsku, Religious monument at St Mary's Church in Gdańsk, Poland
The bronze statue portrayed Martin Luther wearing a renaissance cap and long robes while holding a papal bull in the central nave of the church.
The monument was unveiled on November 10, 1883, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Martin Luther's birth, with city officials and Protestant school representatives attending.
German sculptor Rudolf Siemering created two identical statues, with one placed in Eisleben and the other commissioned by the Lutheran community in Gdańsk.
The monument survived World War II bombings in spring 1945 but was removed during the church debris clearing in 1946 and sent to a foundry.
Local children made jokes about the statue's elevated nose position, while post-war residents placed a German helmet on its head and wrote 'Mein Kampf' on the papal bull.
