Leibniztempel, Memorial pavilion in Georgengarten, Germany
The Leibniztempel is a round pavilion structure in Georgengarten featuring twelve Ionic columns of sandstone, situated on a small peninsula surrounded by a reflecting pond. The structure integrates harmoniously into the parkland and offers visitors a quiet spot to pause.
The structure was built between 1787 and 1790, becoming the first public monument in Germany dedicated to a non-noble person. In 1935 it was relocated from Waterlooplatz to its present location.
The temple displays a marble replica of Leibniz's bust, while the original Carrara marble sculpture has been housed in Museum Schloss Herrenhausen since 2013. The placement within the garden reflects the importance this thinker held for Hannover.
The pavilion is located in the northern section of Georgengarten and is easily reached via walking paths, with the base connected to Adolfstraße. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear as the paths traverse through parkland.
The structure bears golden letters spelling 'Genio Leibnitii' on its exterior, prominently displayed for all visitors. This Latin dedication emphasizes the city's recognition of the philosopher and mathematician.
