This monument stands in tribute to Richard Wagner, the great German composer, dramatist and director.

The monument is a marble statue featuring a seated Richard Wagner surrounded by visual leitmotifs of his most famous operas including Tannhäuser and The Ring Cycle. Wagner is depicted with his left hand resting on the chair, while his right fist is clenched above a bunch of sheet music, alluding to his legendary perfectionism. The base is surrounded by characters from Wagner's aforementioned works. Much like his music, the sculptures are exceptional for it's complex textures, especially on Brunhild mourning over Siegfried and Alberich protecting the Nibelungen treasure, while one of the daughters of the Rhine is teasing Alberich's beard.

It's a bit out of the way from the main tourist circuit, but definitely worth seeking out if wandering in Tiergarten.
