    Monument dedicated to Jelle Pieter Troelstra by Piet Esser (1953). 15 meters high, consisting of bronze and concrete.
    It was a bit daring to erect a monument in the middle of a wealthy neighborhood to the greatest advocate of social realism in our history: Pieter Jelles Troelstra (1860-1930).

He played an important role in that party for about thirty years.
