Fackelträger-Säule, Cultural heritage monument in Südstadt-Bult, Germany.
The Fackelträger-Säule stands 18.5 meters tall at the northern shore of Maschsee, featuring a golden torch-bearer figure measuring 4.5 meters in height.
The stele was completed for the inauguration of Maschsee on May 21, 1936, following a competition won by sculptor Hermann Scheuernstuhl with a prize of 50,000 Reichsmark.
Inscriptions on the column address themes of work, health, and strength, while the monument serves as a focal point for discussions about public art preservation.
Located at Kurt-Schwitters-Platz near Maschsee, visitors can find the monument at coordinates 52.362778 latitude and 9.7385 longitude in Hannover's Südstadt district.
The golden torch-bearer figure weighs 1000 kilograms and generated controversy due to perceived Freemason symbolism, delaying its official inauguration until June 1937.
