Margarethe-Engelhardt-Denkmal
The Margarethe-Engelhardt-Denkmal is a bronze bust at the southeast corner of Nuremberg’s Hauptmarkt. Barbara Kastl-Salaris created the sculpture to commemorate Margarethe Engelhardt, known locally as “die Marcharedd.”
From 1948 to 1997, Engelhardt sold fruit and vegetables at the market in every kind of weather. Her farm stood in Knoblauchsland, one of Germany’s largest contiguous vegetable-growing regions, linking her daily work with Nuremberg’s agricultural landscape. Installed in 2001 after her death, the bust faces the market where customers knew her greeting: “Was braung mern heit?” or “What do we need today?”
