Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Deutsch: "Hugenotten-Pelikan", Claire-Waldoff-Straße, Berlin-Mitte. Die Bronzeskulptur von Michael Klein erinnert an die Unterzeichnung des Edikts vom Potsdam am 29. Oktober 1685 und an die anschließende Aufnahme von 5000 Hugenotten in Preußen. Die Skulptur steht am ehemaligen Gelände des Berliner Französischen Hospitals. Sie wurde am Jahrestag des Edikts 1994 aufgestellt. Der Pelikan gilt als Vogel, der seinen Nachwuchs besonders schützt, und symbolisiert so die Freiheit vor Verfolgung, die die Hugenotten in Preußen fanden.
English: "Hugenots-Pelican", Claire-Waldoff-Straße, Berlin-Mitte. The bronze sculpture by Michael Klein commemorates the signing of the Edict of Potsdam on October 29, 1685, and the subsequent admission of 5000 Hugenot refugees to Prussia. The sculpture stands at the former compound of the French Hospital of Berlin. It was installed in 1994 on the occasion of the anniversary of the Edict of Potsdam. The pelican is said to be a bird which takes especially good care of its offspring; the sculpture therefore symbolizes the freedom from persecution the Hugenots found in Prussia. |
