Marx-Engels Forum, Memorial and park in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

The Marx-Engels Forum spans 6.5 acres near Alexanderplatz, featuring bronze statues of Karl Marx seated and Friedrich Engels standing on a central platform.

The East German government established this memorial space in 1986, transforming an area previously destroyed during World War II into a public gathering place.

Eight steel columns surrounding the main statues display photographs representing industrial progress, workers' movements, and social developments through metalwork installations.

Located along the Spree River between Karl-Liebknecht-Straße and Rathausstraße, the forum remains open throughout the year without admission fees.

The marble relief behind the statues depicts contrasting scenes of capitalist oppression and liberated humanity through detailed sculptural work.

Location: Bezirk Mitte von Berlin

Inception: 1986
