Standbeeld van Dr. Schaepman, Bronze statue in Tubbergen, Netherlands.
Standbeeld van Dr. Schaepman is a bronze statue depicting Herman Schaepman in full length, wearing a cassock and coat, with a clenched right hand and papers in his left hand. The figure stands on a four-meter granite pedestal at the highest point of Tubberger Es.
The monument was completed in 1927 and honors Herman Schaepman, the first Catholic priest to serve in the Dutch Parliament. Its creation marked recognition of Schaepman's significant influence on the political and religious landscape of the Netherlands.
The monument displays inscriptions on all sides of the pedestal, including Schaepman's motto 'Credo Pugno' and shields representing his accomplishments. These elements show how the community honored his spiritual and political legacy.
The statue stands at a prominent intersection at the highest point of Tubberger Es, where Almeloseweg, Huyerenseweg, and Tubbergeresweg meet. This elevated position makes it easy to spot and reach from several directions.
The funding for this nine-meter-tall monument came from a legacy of 30,000 guilders left by Pastor Geerdink, a close friend of Schaepman. This generous bequest reflects the deep personal connection between the two men and their importance to the local community.
