Goethe–Schiller Monument, Bronze statue in Schiller Park, Syracuse, United States
The monument consists of two figures, Johann von Goethe and Friedrich von Schiller, standing together on a black marble pedestal at the northern end of the park.
German citizens of Syracuse presented this replica of the 1857 Weimar monument during a grand unveiling ceremony on October 15, 1911, attended by thousands of spectators.
The monument represents the enduring friendship between Goethe and Schiller, with Goethe holding a laurel wreath while placing his hand on Schiller's shoulder.
The German-American Society of Central New York maintains the monument, which underwent restoration in 2003 including cleaning, fencing installation, and landscape improvements.
This monument stands as one of only four identical Goethe-Schiller replicas in the United States, alongside those in San Francisco, Cleveland, and Milwaukee.
