The preaching figure of Christ is probably the most noticed statue in the Ohlsdorf cemetery and is considered his calling card. It was unveiled in 1905.
The Christ statue was created by the Swiss sculptor Xaver Arnold (*1848; †1929). His name is stamped into the base of the statue along with the year 1904. A small plaque on the base commemorates the donor: gift from Friedrich Wencke, Hamburg 1904.
