Théophile Conrad Pfeffel, Bronze monument in Place Pfeffel, Colmar, France

The monument features a standing figure of Theophile Conrad Pfeffel, the celebrated 18th-century writer and educator from Colmar, France.

Created in 1859 by sculptor Andre Friedrich, the original statue stood at the Unterlinden Museum before being replaced with a bronze copy in 1899.

The monument honors Pfeffel's contributions as a mediator between French and German cultures through his translations and literary works.

Visitors can find this monument in the historic district of Colmar, near the former Sovereign Council Palace and the Knights of St. John House.

The current statue, sculpted by Charles Geiss in 1927, replaced the previous bronze version that was melted down during World War I in 1918.
