Hardenberg memorial, Bronze monument in front of House of Representatives, Berlin, Germany.
The Hardenberg memorial is a bronze figure standing before the Berlin House of Representatives, reaching about 2.8 meters in height with a granite base. The statue depicts a man dressed in early 19th-century clothing with his gaze directed forward.
Martin Götze created the bronze sculpture between 1904 and 1907; it was erected in 1907 on Dönhoffplatz, where it stood with the larger Stein monument. Its trace was lost after the Second World War. On the initiative of Walter Momper, it was reconstructed from 2005 using Götze's model held by the Hardenberg family, and since 2011 it has stood to the right of the Prussian Landtag.
The memorial honors a Prussian statesman whose work shaped government and economic systems in the early 1800s. Visitors can read the inscription on the granite base to learn more about the person being commemorated.
The memorial stands directly in front of the House of Representatives and is easily reached via Niederkirchnerstraße. The location is designed with full accessibility, making it straightforward for all visitors to view the statue.
The granite base carries an inscription with the life dates 1750 to 1822, marking the span of this statesman's life. These details help visitors understand the historical period during which he worked.
