In 1805 the "Patriotic Literary Society of the County of Mansfeld" initially intended to erect a memorial to the reformer Martin Luther in Mansfeld. Friedrich Wilhelm III also wanted a dedication to be set up in Wittenberg after the wars of liberation. The foundation stone was finally laid in 1817 and the monument was ceremoniously unveiled on October 31, 1821. The figure was designed by Johann Gottfried Schadow (1805), the base by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and the canopy by the Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm IV.
