The Lilienthal monument in Bäkepark in Berlin-Steglitz was created in 1914 and shows Icarus as a male nude spreading his wings. The monument is a work of Peter Christian Breuer, who u.a. also created the Beethoven monument in the Rheinaue in Bonn.

The Lilienthal monument in Bäkepark shows Icarus standing on a steeply pyramidal plinth ending with flattening steps. A young, athletic man spreads his arms horizontally. Artificial wings are attached to them. The feet are just next to each other, the legs are closed. The entire body - from the feet and legs over the slightly stretched out chest, up to the head straight-facing head - is under tension. The eyes are wide open with a view of the sun. The entire statue made of bronze appears in combination with the massive, high base of sandstone particularly delicate and fragile. On the one hand, the strong will and desire to reach new heights or new heights is expressed in the stressed body, on the other hand, the finiteness and fragility of this endeavor, the direct contrast of the bronze sculpture with the massive sandstone block becomes very clear. Ultimately, the rising body of Icarus breaks apart on the massive stone of the earth.
