Most of my posts lately come from my archives and I'm sorry to admit I can't find any additional information on this statue. I think it was taken somewhere near the Heinrich Heine Straße U-bahn station. I hope you'll enjoy it anyway! You'll find more interesting finds at Tuesday Treasures.

  1. It is the Heinrich Heine monument by Carin Kreuzberg placed in 1990.

  2. A thoughtful pose - I really like it! Maybe I'm taken in because it's in Berlin! Forgot who Heinrich Heine was, so I'll look it up. Enjoy your week! Hope you enjoy your new job?

  3. Am back - Heine was a poet, which put this pose in context. They write about him that his poetry had a lightness to it, that was (in Germany) not known before. The face in the sculpture looks like a painted portrait of him (Wikipedia).

  5. Ah, but I remember this: "His quote about burning books is prominently displayed in the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem." ~ Wikipedia

  8. It reminds me of Death in Ingmar Bergman's film.

  9. It is a lovely statue. I like the placement of his hands and I see by the comments he has been identified!

  10. Sort of a bit "creepy" looking, just from the expression on it's face.

  11. I think it is quite a fine sculpture, Hal. It must be hard maintaining a blog while working at a new job.

  12. It's wonderful. I hate to admit how many current shots I have where I've forgotten to get information about what I'm shooting! (And since a couple of people have mentioned it, let me add, too, that I hope your new job is going well for you.)

  13. Somehow it conveys a sense of loss to me. It's very powerful.

  14. He looks deep in thought, the way I often think great poets might look. ;)

  16. It's certainly not a happy statue. Probably has something to do with the war...and perhaps the Holocaust.

  17. He looks a little sad Hal, a memorial maybe?
