Goethe Monument, Marble monument at Großer Tiergarten, Germany
The Goethe Monument stands 6 meters tall, featuring a central figure of the poet surrounded by three allegorical groups representing literature and science.
Fritz Schaper created this monument between 1876 and 1880, following a public competition that displayed fifty different design proposals for the memorial.
The monument's allegorical figures at the base represent Drama, Lyric Poetry with Amor, and Science, reflecting the diverse contributions of Goethe.
The memorial returned to its original location in 2012 after extensive restoration work, which included repairing missing parts and restoring the cast-iron fence.
A bronze replica of this monument was created in 2016 using 3D printing technology for the Lotte Group headquarters in Seoul, South Korea.
