Graun-Denkmal, Bronze monument in Wahrenbrück, Germany.

The Graun-Denkmal features a bronze bust placed on a granite pedestal, crafted by sculptor Hugo Hagen and cast in Lauchhammer foundry.

The monument's foundation stone was laid on September 9, 1867, with the official inauguration ceremony taking place on June 20, 1869.

This memorial honors Carl Heinrich Graun, a musician who served at the Prussian court and composed the opera Cesare e Cleopatra for Berlin's Royal Opera.

The monument stands at coordinates 51.550238, 13.363585 in Graunplatz, surrounded by eight chestnut trees planted in 1858 to mark its future location.
