The Liebig Monument was erected in Gießen in honor of the chemist Justus von Liebig.
The Liebig Monument was erected in honor of the chemist Justus von Liebig, who taught at the University of Giessen from 1824 to 1852. The original monument, created by sculptor Fritz Schaper, depicted Liebig in life size on a pedestal. On the left and right, there were two female figures, Minerva and Ceres. The sculpture was unveiled on July 23, 1890, as a gift from Liebig's students to the city of Giessen. Near the end of World War II, the monument was destroyed, and only the head could be salvaged. To protect it from the elements, it was taken to the Liebig Museum. In 1952, a simple column, equipped with a bronze copy of the head, was erected in its original location. For Liebig's 150th birthday, the monument was ceremonially unveiled at the eastern facility.
