August Hermann Francke was a German Protestant theologian, pastor, teacher and hymn writer. He was one of the main representatives of Halle Pietism and founded the Francke Foundation in 1698, which still exists today.

The Lindenhof of the Francke Foundations is formed by the main building and other elongated buildings of the foundations. At the eastern end of this Lindenhof stands the man-high bronze monument to August Hermann Francke, created by the well-known German sculptor Christian Daniel Rauch, as a vanishing point. The marble base was built according to a design by Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781 - 1841). The monument, which pays tribute to the founder of the foundations and important theologians and educators August Hermann Francke (1663 - 1727), was inaugurated on November 5, 1829. Originally, the sculpture was supposed to be placed on a public square in the city of Saale, but the Prussian government at the time approved it not to a non-noble person this honor. In 1992 the monument was completely restored.
