Störtebeker, Bronze statue in Hamburg-Mitte, Germany
The two-ton bronze statue depicts Klaus Störtebeker naked and bound, standing in front of the Maritime Museum on Magdeburger Straße.
The monument, erected in 1982, commemorates the German pirate captain who was executed in Hamburg along with his crew in 1401.
The pedestal inscription 'Gottes Freund und aller Welt Feind' reflects the complex perception of Störtebeker as both outlaw and folk hero.
The memorial site includes wheelchair access and connects to nearby attractions like the Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, and Hamburg Museum.
The statue represents an unusual municipal choice to memorialize a convicted pirate who once threatened the city's maritime trade.
