Ernst Friedrich August Rietschel (born December 15, 1804 in Pulsnitz, † February 21, 1861 in Dresden) was one of the most important German sculptors of late classicism. The sculptures he created, such as the Goethe-Schiller monument in Weimar or the Lessing monument in Braunschweig, have had a decisive influence on the image of Germany as a land of poets and thinkers.
