Johann Christoph Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) is still considered one of the most important German dramatists, poets and essayists. Many of his plays are part of the standard repertoire of German-speaking theaters. His work is shaped by the ideals of reason, humanity and freedom that developed in the 18th century. For his 100th birthday in 1859, in Hamburg, as in many other cities, a Schiller monument is to be erected. After an invitation to tender, the Hamburg sculptor Julius Lippelt received the commission for the magnificent and representative monument, but died before it was completed. Therefore, the Silesian sculptor Carl Börner completes the work. It was originally set up in front of the Kunsthalle am Ferdinandstor, since 1958 in Gustav Mahler Park on Dammtordamm. In 2008 it was extensively restored.

Young Schiller stands as a life-size bronze statue on a granite base with a book in his left hand and his traveling cloak over his arm. The poet is surrounded by allegorical female figures, somewhat smaller, grouped around him at the four corners, indicating the great man's diverse talents. Melpomene is the muse of tragic poetry, Clio the muse of heroic poetry and history. Calliope, the muse of epic poetry and philosophy, is shown holding a book, while Euterpe, the muse of poetry and music, holds a lyre. The whole ensemble is surrounded by a neoclassical iron fence.

There are 3 monuments here.

The 76 war memorial by Richard Kuöhl is from 1936.

The memorial against the war by Alfred Hrdlicka is from 1985/86.

The memorial, an equilateral triangle with a grid of letters, refers to the other two memorials. It stands in the middle and is by Volker Lange from 2015. A memorial for desateurs and other victims of Nazi military justice.
