Monument to Friedrich Joseph Haass
Monument to Friedrich Joseph Haass, Bronze bust monument in Basmanny District, Moscow, Russia.
The Monument to Friedrich Joseph Haass is a bronze and granite structure in the Basmanny District featuring a detailed portrait of the physician. Sculptor Nikolay Andreyev created the work near a hospital where the doctor conducted much of his medical work.
The monument was unveiled in 1909, financed by donations from Moscow residents who wished to honor the German-born doctor. This public gesture demonstrated how important he had become to the city and its reforms in healthcare.
The monument reflects how the doctor was seen in Moscow as a reformer who cared for the poorest members of society. His motto "Hurry to do good deeds" is inscribed on the base, showing the values that defined his work here.
The monument is located near Maly Kazyonny Lane in central Moscow and is easily accessible on foot. It sits in a busy neighborhood with other historic buildings, making it possible to visit as part of a wider walking tour.
Haass was a German doctor who radically advocated for prisoners' rights and spent nearly his entire life providing medical care in Russian prisons. This work was extraordinary for the 1800s and made him a figure of deep personal meaning in the city.
