    The Karl Marx statue is a monument on the Simeonstiftplatz in Trier. It was unveiled on May 5, 2018 on the occasion of Karl Marx's 200th birthday in his native city. The work of sculptor Wu Weishan is a gift from the People's Republic of China.
    The bronze statue weighs 2.3 tons and is 5.50 meters high including the base, a nod to Marx's date of birth on May 5, 1818. The pentagonal base is made of concrete covered with basalt panels, the statue is made of bronze.

    The installation of the sculpture by Wu Weishan in 2018 was discussed very controversially in advance, both in terms of the acceptance of the gift and the location.
