    The Niedersachsenstein, an 18 m high brick monument, stands on the Weyerberg. It was completed in 1922 based on a design by the architect Bernhard Hoetger, who also designed Böttcherstraße in Bremen, and is the only large-scale expressionist sculpture in Germany of particular importance in terms of art history.
    The construction of the sculpture was always controversial, if only because of the glorification of the sacrificial death through the still legible sentence from the Gospel of John, chap. 15, verse 13: "No one has greater love than this, that he should give his life for his friends".
