Maximilian-von-Montgelas-Statue

he Maximilian-von-Montgelas-Statue is a tribute to Maximilian, Count von Montgelas, a brilliant and influential figure who served as Bavaria’s chief minister in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was a key figure in modernizing Bavaria.

The monument serves to remember the leader and the one who was there to implement much of the reforms that took place.

Without him, Bavaria would not look like what it is today. He made a key impact, centuries ago.

The statue was created by the sculptor Max von Widnmann. The bronze sculpture shows Montgelas in a formal pose, befitting his status.

The statue was unveiled in 1860, several decades after Montgelas’ death. This was in recognition of the work that he had performed.

This location was chosen to place it near important city areas.
