Spielende Kinder

Shortly after the World War II, the sculptor Kurt Lehmann used his own children at play as the model for this #sculpture. It was exhibited at the very first documenta and was later purchased by the City of #Hannover.

Fun fact: His son, depicted here, later became director of the Hannover State Opera and, long before his career took off, already had his own #monument in the form of this sculpture.

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.
