The Schillerdenkmal in Wiesbaden honours Friedrich Schiller and stands within the Warmer Damm landscape park. Schiller appears here as a young German writer.

Berlin sculptor Joseph Uphues created the monument in 1905 to mark the centenary of Schiller’s death. His declamatory pose gives the figure a theatrical presence.

A female figure at the base represents tragedy, a theme found throughout Schiller’s literary and dramatic work. The monument stands before Wiesbaden’s Hessisches Staatstheater.

At the monument’s creation, the theatre was known as the Preußisches Hoftheater, connecting the site with Wiesbaden’s earlier cultural history. The Warmer Damm park provides a quiet setting.

This location brings together a literary memorial, public sculpture, and the theatre’s architectural presence in one cultural landscape. The monument’s location is recorded as wheelchair accessible.

Its history category reflects the documented link between Schiller, Joseph Uphues, and Wiesbaden’s cultural setting. The sculpture connects poetry, tragedy, theatre, and parkland.
