The Heinrich Marschner monument stands near Hanover’s opera house, linking a 19th-century sculpture with the city’s musical history. Carl Ferdinand Hartzer created the stone tribute in 1877 for Heinrich Marschner, a German composer born in Zittau in 1795.

Marschner served as Hanover’s court music director from 1831 to 1859, working at Leineschloss and the opera house. Hanover first saw his operas Der Bäbu in 1838 and Austin in 1852, during his leading role in German opera.

Hartzer studied at several art academies before working as a freelance sculptor in Berlin. The monument keeps Marschner’s connection to Hanover’s stages visible beside the opera house where his musical career took root.
