Joseph-Görres-Denkmal, Cultural heritage monument near Kurfürstliches Schloss, Koblenz, Germany.
The monument features a bronze figure standing 5.23 meters tall on a four-meter base made of Rochlitz porphyry, depicting a youth looking over the Rhine.
The memorial was erected in 1928 to honor Joseph Görres, a German journalist and historian who lived from 1776 to 1848 and advocated for freedom.
The statue incorporates an eagle symbol and holds a book, representing strength and knowledge while showcasing the expressionist architectural style of the Rhineland-Palatinate region.
Located at Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer behind the palace, visitors can access the monument via the riverside promenade and observe the profile relief of Görres.
The monument survived planned metal confiscation during World War II through the intervention of Koblenz mayor Nikolaus Simmer, preserving its original bronze structure.
