Schillerdenkmal, Marble statue at Albertplatz, Dresden, Germany.

The white marble statue depicts Friedrich Schiller in ancient attire, standing on a round pedestal adorned with nine relief panels at Albertplatz.

Created by sculptor Selmar Werner in 1913, the monument was officially unveiled in 1914 to commemorate the German poet Friedrich von Schiller.

Nine relief panels on the pedestal illustrate scenes from Schiller's literary works, including Hero und Leander and Die Jungfrau von Orleans.

The monument stands near the intersection of Hauptstrasse and Königstrasse in Dresden's Inner Neustadt district, accessible without entrance fees.

Local residents named the monument 'Schiller in the Bathtub' due to its placement within a shoulder-high rotunda measuring 7.50 meters in diameter.
