Paul-Fleming-Denkmal, Bronze statue monument in Hartenstein, Germany.

The Paul-Fleming-Denkmal is a bronze statue standing on a stone base in the central marketplace of Hartenstein. The sculpture depicts a physician and poet who lived in the 17th century and came from this town.

The idea for the monument came from the Landtag deputy Friedrich Straumer in 1884. It took over ten years to collect enough money through donations for the sculpture, which was made by Max Meißner of Friedenau near Berlin. The monument was unveiled on 28 May 1896 during a public festival on Hartenstein's marketplace, where the old town hall once stood.

The statue commemorates a local physician who also pursued poetry, showing how the town values intellectual achievement from its past. Visitors walking through the marketplace can see how the monument has become part of daily life in Hartenstein.

The monument sits directly in Hartenstein's marketplace and is easily reached on foot. A nearby museum offers more information about the life and work of the physician it commemorates.

Although the monument required more than a decade of fundraising, it was financed entirely through contributions from local people. This collective effort shows how much the community valued honoring this historical figure.
