Josef Jungmann, Bronze memorial in Jungmann Square, Prague, Czech Republic
The bronze statue portrays Josef Jungmann in a seated position, holding a scroll and pen on a granite pedestal in central Prague.
The foundation stone was laid in 1873 by František Palacký, and sculptor Ludvík Šimek completed the statue after initial designer Václav Levý passed away.
The monument commemorates Josef Jungmann, who created a comprehensive Czech-German dictionary and translated numerous literary works to enrich the Czech language.
The statue stands in a central location near Wenceslas Square, the Franciscan Garden, and multiple metro stations in Prague.
During the construction of Metro B line, workers discovered a time capsule within the pedestal containing newspapers, coins, and documents from 1985.
