Goethedenkmal (Goethe Monument) by Carl Seffner & Max Bischoff, 1909
Naschmarkt
Leipzig, September 2024
“The Goethe Monument has stood on the Naschmarkt since June 28, 1903. It commemorates Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832), who came to Leipzig in 1775 at the age of 16 to study law and stayed here for three years. The statue shows the poet as a gallant young student in rococo costume. Anna Katharina (Käthchen) Schönkopf and Friederike Oeser are depicted as bust portraits on the medallions attached to the plinth.” (Goethe monument on the Naschmarkt, City of Leipzig)
