The Schiller Monument, erected in 1941, is a copy of the Schiller Monument created by Reinhold Begas in 1869. The original stood at Gendarmenmarkt until 1935. To erect the monument, the terraced area of Schiller Park was remodeled. For example, a fountain niche was closed off. Wilhelm Haverkamp's sculpture "Wrestler" was removed from Schiller Park and relocated to Rehberge Public Park. At the same time, the undesirable Rathenau Monument was melted down to obtain the material for the Schiller Monument. Source: weddingweiser.de/skulpturen-im-wedding
