    Directly opposite the parish church of St. Veit is the Jean Paul monument, which was erected by the city in honor of its great son.
    The plans for the bronze monument were drawn up by Ludwig von Schwanthaler (1802 to 1848), who also designed the Bavaria in Munich.

        One of the most famous German writers - Jean Paul, real name: Johann Paul Friedrich Richter - is inseparably linked to the Fichtelgebirge. He spent a large part of his life here and was inspired by nature on his many hiking tours. In his novels he created a poetic monument to the fascinating landscape and shaped not only the literary culture of the region, but of the entire era. The Fichtelgebirge says thank you and commemorates the region's most famous son in many places: Whether Jean Paul hiking trails or Jean Paul beers - the spirit of the great poet can be found everywhere here.
