Silcher monument, Stone monument on Neckarinsel, Tübingen, Germany
The 5.7-meter sandstone statue depicts composer Friedrich Silcher seated while writing music, accompanied by figures illustrating military and civilian scenes.
The monument, designed by Wilhelm Julius Frick, was unveiled in May 1941 during World War II and remains one of the few public sculptures from that period.
The monument represents Friedrich Silcher's contributions to German folk music, including his work collecting traditional songs and directing music at Tübingen University.
The monument stands on Platanenallee, accessible by walking paths from both sides of the Neckar River, with wheelchair access available for visitors.
The dual-sided composition features both musical creativity and military themes, reflecting the complex intersection of art and historical circumstances.
