Richard-Wagner-Denkmal, Bronze memorial statue in Mitte district, Leipzig, Germany.

The monument features a 1.8-meter bronze figure of young Wagner in casual clothing, standing on a white marble pedestal with a height of 2.9 meters.

The monument, unveiled in 2013 for Wagner's 200th birthday, incorporates designs by Max Klinger from 1913 that were halted due to World War I.

Three sides of the marble relief display characters from Wagner's operas, including the Rhine maidens, Siegfried, and Parsifal in detailed compositions.

Visitors can reach the memorial by public transport at Leipzig Goerdelerring station, followed by a 350-meter walk through the northwest city center.

Behind the youth statue rises a black bronze plate depicting the silhouette of an older Wagner, representing the progression of his musical career.
