Fritz Reuter Memorial

The Fritz Reuter Memorial features a bronze figure seated in a chair on a granite pedestal, with the writer holding a book on his thigh.

The monument, unveiled in 1911, emerged from a competition that attracted ninety-two design submissions and required a budget of 50,000 marks from international donors.

The memorial includes eight bronze reliefs on granite benches, depicting forty-five characters from Fritz Reuter's literature works in Low German dialect.

The monument stands in the center of Stavenhagen, near the Fritz Reuter Literature Museum, which presents exhibitions about the writer's life and works.

Wilhelm Wandschneider created the sculpture showing Reuter with his hand touching his chin, suggesting a moment of literary contemplation or satisfaction.
