Rubenow-Denkmal, Gothic monument in Greifswald, Germany
The Rubenow Monument stands 12.55 meters tall before the University of Greifswald, featuring figures representing monarchs and scholars in detailed zinc casting.
The monument was unveiled on October 17, 1856, during the 400th anniversary of the University of Greifswald, in presence of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV.
Four niches contain statues of rulers: Duke Wartislaw IX of Pomerania, Duke Bogislaw XIV of Pomerania, King Frederick I of Sweden, and King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia.
The monument underwent extensive restoration in 2005, with costs reaching 280,000 euros funded through institutional support and private donations.
This freestanding zinc cast monument, copper-plated through galvanization, represents the largest structure of its kind in Germany.
