Ernst-Thälmann-Denkmal, Bronze memorial statue in Stralsund, Germany
The Ernst-Thälmann Memorial features a larger-than-life bronze statue depicting the political figure in a suit with raised right fist on a stone base.
The monument was inaugurated on August 18, 1962, in the presence of Ernst Thälmann's daughter Irma, following a public fundraising campaign that collected 70,000 marks.
The memorial design by sculptor Walter Arnold represents the communist resistance against National Socialism through its militant pose and symbolic elements.
Located at the Sundpromenade, the monument stands on a trapezoidal square bordered by low sandstone walls and includes an information plaque.
The stone wall behind the statue forms a sickle shape when viewed from above, incorporating communist symbolism into the architectural design.
