Memorial August Neidhardt von Gneisenau
Memorial August Neidhardt von Gneisenau, Bronze memorial in Bebelplatz, Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
The Memorial August Neidhardt von Gneisenau is a bronze statue in Bebelplatz showing a Prussian field marshal and stands about 2.7 meters tall. The artwork sits in a central square surrounded by historic buildings and is visible from different angles.
The artist Christian Daniel Rauch created the statue in the mid-19th century as a symbol of Prussian military tradition. The monument was relocated after World War II and found its current location only decades later.
The figure stands in a place that is actively used by the public and shows how Berliners engage with their military past. You can observe how different generations perceive the site as part of their city.
The memorial stands on a busy public square, easy to reach and with plenty of space to walk around. You can visit it anytime without charge since it is an outdoor artwork.
The base was designed according to plans by the renowned architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, which elevates the statue beyond a simple monument. This collaboration between sculptor and architect is an often overlooked aspect of the overall artwork.
