Monument to Immanuel Kant, Bronze monument near Baltic Federal University in Kaliningrad, Russia
The standing figure of Immanuel Kant holds a cane and headdress in his left hand while gesturing with his right hand, placed on a red granite pedestal.
The original 1864 sculpture by Christian Daniel Rauch disappeared during World War II, leading to the creation of this 1992 replica by Harald Haake.
The monument stands as a connection between Kaliningrad's German past as Königsberg and its present Russian identity through the legacy of the philosopher.
Visitors can find the monument in a park on Universitetskaya Street, near the Bunker Museum, surrounded by a low protective fence.
The current statue rests upon its original nineteenth-century pedestal, which temporarily held a bust of German communist Ernst Telman during the Soviet period.

Kaliningrad is notable for the coexistence of its German and Russian heritage, resulting from a history that has shaped its current identity. The city hosts the 14th-century Kaliningrad Cathedral, a brick Gothic building now serving as a museum and organ concert venue. Prussian fortifications reflect the military past of the former Königsberg, such as the Bunker Museum, which recounts World War II events, and the historic Brandenburg and King’s Gates, which once marked the city entrances. The Kaliningrad region is known for its Baltic amber deposits, displayed at the Amber Museum housed in a 19th-century tower. The Ocean Museum exhibits research ships and maritime exploration collections. 98 kilometers from the city, the Curonian Spit extends between the Baltic Sea and the lagoon, forming a strip of sand covered with pine forests and dunes. The old Königsberg Exchange and the Church of the Holy Family complete a route mixing architectural and natural discoveries.
