Niedersachsenstein Monument

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".

The Niedersachsenstein, an 18-meter-high brick monument on the Weyerberg, looks like an eagle from a distance and is a reminder of the soldiers from the region who died in the First World War. 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. Since the construction of the Lower Saxony Stone took place at a time of great poverty and food shortages, it was controversial at the time, as it is today because of its originally intended function as a war memorial.
