This statue stands in tribute to Friedrich Schiller, the German poet, philosopher, physician, historian, and playwright. He left a legacy that includes many novels of classic drama as well as his many symphonies that are still poplar to this day.
This statue depicts Schiller dressed as a gentleman of the 18th century. He stands in portrait pose, wearing formal dress, button up and an overcoat loose over his shoulders. His right hand is held over his heart and his left is holding a laurel crown, the symbol of victory.
The monument is located in Maximilian public square and gardens, amongst monuments to fellow German heroes.
