Burschenschaftsdenkmal Jena
Burschenschaftsdenkmal Jena, Monument and statue at University of Jena, Germany
A 5.5-meter marble monument features a student figure holding a flag and sword, standing on a limestone base with bronze medallions.
The monument, inaugurated in 1883, commemorates the founding of the Urburschenschaft student association, which advocated for German unity in 1815.
The statue displays important symbols including an oak leaf frieze, inscribed sword reading 'Fürs Vaterland', and medallions depicting the founders.
The monument receives seasonal protection from November to April with a special covering to prevent weather-related deterioration of the structure.
The central figure was carved from a single block of Carrara marble and stands 3.3 meters tall in traditional German student attire.
