Courage.

Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann was a Göttingen professor and a "founding father" of German parliamentarianism. In 1837, he led the Göttingen Seven - a group of professors who risked their careers to protest King Ernst August’s constitutional violations. His bronze statue now is the central part of a #monument and stands before the #LowerSaxony State Parliament in #Hannover, symbolizing the transition from academia to principled political action.
