Equestrian statue of Frederick the Great : ウィキペディア英語版 | Equestrian statue of Frederick the Great
The equestrian statue of Frederick the Great is an outdoor sculpture in cast bronze at the east end of Unter den Linden in Berlin, honouring King Frederick II of Prussia. It was designed in 1839 by Christian Daniel Rauch and unveiled in 1851. It influenced other monuments. After having been enclosed for protection during World War II, the statue and its base were removed by the East Germans in 1950 and re-erected in 1963 at Sanssouci in Potsdam, but returned to Unter den Linden in 1980. After German reunification the monument was moved back to its original location and restored. It is a registered monument of the City of Berlin. ==Description and location== The monument is tall, the mounted statue itself being high on an unusually tall pedestal, with two bands of sculpture above inscriptions: the middle depicts 74 great men of Frederick the Great's time in life size, many in full relief, and the upper section, reliefs of the king's life, with the four cardinal virtues at the corners. The statue itself depicts Frederick in military uniform and an ermine-trimmed cloak, wearing his decorations, and with his characteristic three-cornered hat; he holds the reins in his left hand and in his right has a walking stick.〔("Denkmal König Friedrich II. von Preußen" ), Senatsverwaltung für Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt, Berlin, revised 10 April 2014 〕 The statue stands at the east end of Unter den Linden, facing east at the west end of the former Forum Fridericianum (now Bebelplatz) towards the site of the royal palace.〔Hartwig Schmidt, "Architecture and Urban Planning 1850–1914", ''Berlin/New York: Like and Unlike: Essays on Architecture and Art from 1870 to the Present'', ed.
