Rosa-Luxemburg-Denkmal, Monument to Rosa Luxemburg in Schöndorf, Weimar, Germany.
The Rosa-Luxemburg-Denkmal is an obelisk made from Ehringsdorfer travertine topped with a hammer and sickle symbol, accompanied by an inscription on an adjacent boulder. The structure stands at Rosa Luxemburg Square in Schöndorf and creates a clear focal point with its geometric form.
The monument was inaugurated in 1959, four decades after Rosa Luxemburg's assassination, honoring a key leader of the Communist Party of Germany. It was created during the German Democratic Republic as a memorial to a significant historical figure of that era.
The monument displays words from Rosa Luxemburg: 'I dream of studying art in free moments'. This personal inscription reveals a side of her beyond her political work.
The monument is located at Rosa Luxemburg Square near Franz-Mehring-Straße and is easily reached on foot. The site is regularly used for gatherings and commemorative events, so checking local event calendars can help plan your visit.
The monument became part of the Bauhaus project Nachschlag 1999, linking the memorial to Weimar's broader architectural heritage. This connection shows how the structure was woven into the city's artistic tradition.
