Ernst-Thälmann Memorial in Weimar, Bronze memorial statue in Weimar, Germany.
The Ernst-Thälmann Memorial features an upper body sculpture with a raised fist, standing prominently in a square of Weimar's urban landscape.
The memorial, unveiled in 1958, commemorates Ernst Thälmann, a German Communist Party chairman who was executed at Buchenwald concentration camp in 1944.
The sculpture, created by Dresden artist Walter Arnold, represents the German Democratic Republic's method of commemorating political figures through monumental art.
Located at coordinates 50.9885797, 11.325821, the memorial site provides limited access for visitors using wheelchairs due to structural constraints.
The square housing the memorial changed names multiple times, from commemorating war victims to its current designation as Buchenwaldplatz in 1991.
