The Natalie Zahle statue stands in a Copenhagen park, close to the school she founded for girls. Ludvig Brandstrup designed the memorial in bronze and granite, and workers erected it in 1916. The setting connects the sculpture with the place where Zahle shaped Danish education. Nearby, her former school recalls a pioneering institution for girls and women.

Natalie Zahle opened her own school after training at Denmark’s first school for women teachers, graduating in 1851. Her school began in 1852 and offered primary, secondary, artistic, physical, and professional education. In 1885, it became Denmark’s first girls’ school to offer the studentereksamen, the university entrance examination. Zahle also established teacher training, healthcare, music education, and household studies, while encouraging girls to choose professional or domestic paths. The memorial’s bronze and granite surface preserves that connection between one educator, her school, and wider opportunities for Danish women.
