The Yorck Memorial in Berlin's Bebelplatz

A bronze statue of Ludwig Yorck von Wartenburg stands at the back of Bebelplatz green space. He was a Prussian field marshal and a freedom fighter who lived from 1759 to 1830. The memorial was designed in neoclassical style.

Christian Daniel Rauch created the statue from 1840 to 1855. It is considered a piece of the Berlin school of sculpture and serves to commemorate Yorck's life and service.

For a century, the statue occupied a more prominent stage. It stood at the front of the Unter den Linden avenue until 1950, where it formed part of an urban ensemble.

Today, the memorial is located in a different spot. Since 1963, the statue has stood at the back of Bebelplatz green space in Berlin's Mitte district.
