    The monument to Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724-1803) was inaugurated in July 1831.

    Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed the monument.
    Christian Friedrich Tieck created the bronze portrait of the great poet.
    A plaque in the pediment of the memorial quotes the final line of Klopstock's ode "My little forest" in a slightly modified form.
    In 1778 the poet sent them as a thank you to the Counts Holck, who lived near Kiel, when they gave him their favorite place to stay, a little oak grove.
