Leibniz monument, Bronze monument at University of Leipzig, Germany
The monument features a standing figure of Leibniz with four allegorical statues representing Philosophy, Jurisprudence, Theology, and Medicine at its base.
Created by sculptor Ernst Julius Hähnel and inaugurated in 1883, the monument initially stood at Thomaskirchhof before relocating to the university grounds.
The statue depicts Leibniz leaning on a globe and holding an open book, symbolizing his contributions to science and philosophy at Leipzig University.
Located in the Leibnizforum courtyard of Leipzig University, the monument remains accessible to visitors throughout the year with wheelchair access.
The monument survived the 1943 bombing of Leipzig and underwent multiple relocations before finding its current position in 2008, facing east in the university courtyard.
