In the spring of 2019, 500 Beethoven statues will be installed on the Münterplatz - where the world-famous Beethoven monument, which Franz Liszt unveiled in 1845, stands.
"UNSER LUDWIG" is a joint action of city-marketing bonn e.V. and the Bürger für Beethoven e.V. in cooperation with the Beethoven Anniversary society, represented in the signature brand BTHVN2020. The patron is Lord Mayor Ashok Sridharan.
The statue is designed by the renowned sculptor and conceptual artist Ottmar Hörl. It measures about 99x35x33 cm and is made out of golden or opal green weatherproof plastic. Each of these figures is handmade in Germany. Until the installation in summer 2019, it is possible to purchase one of 500 Beethoven figures that will be exhibited there.
The initiative starts on 18 May 2019!
