Hagedorn-Gedenkstein stands in Hamburg’s Eichenpark, among tall old trees overlooking the Alster. Carl Börner created this memorial in 1897 for poet Friedrich von Hagedorn.

Large boulders hold a rectangular bronze plaque showing Hagedorn resting on a bench in nature. The inscription marks the spot where he composed, linking the park to his poem Die Alster and to Hamburg’s literary past. Hagedorn lived from 1708 to 1754 and wrote songs, fables, and didactic poems during the Rococo period.

The scene leaves one clear image: a poet seated among trees, with the Alster beyond him and bronze set into stone.
