Heinrich Heine monument, Bronze memorial sculpture at Schwanenmarkt, Düsseldorf, Germany.
The monument features fragmented facial elements of Heinrich Heine enclosed in a cubic framework made of tubes and surrounded by symbolic objects.
The sculpture was created in 1981 by artist Bert Gerresheim, following multiple attempts since 1887 to establish a memorial for the German poet in Düsseldorf.
The monument includes drums referencing Heine's poem 'Doktrin', pillows symbolizing his illness years, and women's shoes representing his relationships.
The memorial measures 2.5 meters by 5 meters by 8 meters, allowing visitors to walk through and examine the installation from different angles.
The design originates from Heine's death mask, preserved at Heinrich-Heine-Institut, which Gerresheim enlarged and transformed into distorted components.
