Bubenberg memorial, Bronze memorial in Hirschengraben, Bern, Switzerland
The Bubenberg memorial features a bronze figure standing in armor, with his right hand on a sword and left hand extended in a protective gesture.
The monument honors Adrian von Bubenberg, who served as mayor of Bern multiple times between 1468 and 1479 and defended the city during the Burgundian Wars.
Two inscriptions on the pedestal express dedication to the homeland, including 'As long as a vein lives within us, no one surrenders' in German.
The memorial underwent restoration in 2015, which included cleaning and preservation efforts to maintain its condition for future generations.
Initially placed at Bubenbergplatz in 1897, the statue was relocated to Hirschengraben in 1930 due to infrastructure changes in the city center.
