Denkmal der Großherzogin Charlotte, Bronze memorial at Place de Clairefontaine, Luxembourg
The Denkmal der Großherzogin Charlotte is a bronze statue located at Place de Clairefontaine in Luxembourg City. The figure stands roughly 2.75 meters tall, with the right arm extended from a wide coat and the palm facing upward.
The memorial was built to honor a ruler who led Luxembourg for nearly five decades and guided the nation through a world conflict. Her reign shaped the country's development during the postwar years.
The statue commemorates a figure central to Luxembourg's monarchy, standing as a memorial in the heart of the city. Visitors encounter here a space where the nation's story is held through sculpture.
The memorial sits in a central location in the city and is easy to reach on foot. The immediate surroundings offer little shade, so visiting on cloudy days or earlier in the morning works well.
Local people humorously call the statue Heeschefraa because of its raised hand, a name meaning beggar woman. This informal nickname shows how residents have made the formal sculpture part of their everyday speech.
