Karl-Marx-Denkmal, monument in Neubrandenburg, Germany
The Karl-Marx-Denkmal is a bronze statue standing about 2 meters tall, positioned in a park near the Schwanenteich pond. The figure shows Marx wearing an open coat, gazing into the distance with a contemplative expression.
The statue was created in 1969 by artist Gerhard Thieme and originally stood on Marxplatz, the city's main square. After damage to its base, it was removed to storage in 1995, then restored and reinstalled near the Schwanenteich in 2018 with community support.
The monument's name reflects Karl Marx and his influence on political thought from earlier times. Today it serves as a quiet spot where visitors pause and reflect while walking through the park.
The statue is easily accessible and sits in a quiet park where visitors can walk at their own pace. The location works well for a leisurely walk around the pond, with plenty of space to stand and take in the surroundings.
In 2022, the statue unexpectedly lost a bronze arm, which was later recast and reattached thanks to community efforts. This restoration effort reveals how much local residents value the sculpture and are committed to preserving it.
