The monument was erected on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Handel's death in 1859 in a joint action by Germans and British.

It is best to photograph the monument in the evening when the evening sun shines directly on Handel's face.

If you meet in the city, the hand memorial is THE meeting place.

If you have the opportunity, you should definitely take the night watchman's walk in Halle to get even more information about the past. Highly recommended.

In the middle of Halle (Saale)'s market square stands the monument to George Frideric Handel, arguably the city's most famous son. The composer was born here in 1685 and later achieved international fame – especially in London, where he became immortalized with works such as "Messiah."

The monument was unveiled in 1859 and is now a central meeting place and a popular photo subject. Especially during the Handel Festival in the summer, the square is a lively place full of music.

Tip 🗝️

Visit the monument in the evening: When the city lights are switched on, the market square, with the statue and the surrounding historic buildings, takes on a particularly atmospheric atmosphere.

On the monument, Handel is looking directly toward England, where he spent a large part of his life.
While his parents were buried in the Halle city cemetery, Handel is buried in Westminster Abbey in London.
