Reiterdenkmal Friedrich Franz II.
Reiterdenkmal Friedrich Franz II., Bronze equestrian monument in Schwerin, Germany
The monument features a grand duke on horseback atop a marble pedestal adorned with four allegorical figures representing strength, justice, wisdom, and faith.
Commissioned after the death of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II in 1883, the memorial was financed through public donations and unveiled in 1893 with Emperor Wilhelm II present.
The pedestal displays two commemorative plaques depicting the construction of Rostock University and the grand duke's ceremonial entry into Schwerin in 1871.
