Summary
[edit]| Description |
Deutsch: Denkmalgruppe zum Brandenburger Markgrafen Heinrich das Kind in der ehemaligen Berliner Siegesallee. Die Nebenfiguren zeigen Wartislaw IV. von Pommern-Wolgast (links) und den Ritter Wedigo von Plotho, genannt Der Bauernschlächter. Bildhauer August Kraus, das Monument wurde am 22. März 1900 enthüllt. Die Büste Wedigos trägt die Physiognomie von Heinrich Zille, der für seinen Freund August Kraus Modell gestanden hatte. Für den knabenhaft gestalteten, melancholisch niederblickenden Markgrafen diente dem Bildhauer Kraus der 13jährige französische Cellist Paul Bazelaire als Modell, der zur Zeit der Arbeiten gerade in Berlin zu Gast war. Die Aufnahme des letzten und für die märkische Geschichte völlig unbedeutenden Askaniers Heinrich II. in die Siegesallee war umstritten und letztlich lediglich der Tatsache geschuldet, dass die Symmetrie mit je 16 Gruppen zu beiden Seiten des Monumentalboulevards gewahrt werden sollte.
English: Monument group in the former Siegesallee in Berlin commemorating Margrave Henry II of Brandenburg, called "Heinrich das Kind" (German for "Henry the Child"). The bust on the left commemorates Duke Wartislaw IV of Pomerania-Wolgast, and the bust on the right the knight Wedigo von Plotho, called the "Peasant Butcher". Sculptor August Kraus. The sculpture was unveiled on 22 March 1900. The bust of Wedigo has the facial features of the painter and photographer Heinrich Zille, who stood model for his friend August Kraus. The facial features and melancholy gaze of Henry the Child were derived from the 13-year-old French musical prodigy Paul Bazelaire, who was visiting Berlin at that time. The inclusion in the Siegesallee of the last Ascanian ruler Henry II, who was of virtually no significance for the history of Brandenburg, was controversial and ultimately based solely on the need to maintain symmetry, with 16 monument groups on each side of the boulevard. |
