The memorial:
The memorial/sculpture was created in 1859 by Wilhelm Engelhard for the 100th birthday of Friedrich Schiller. In 1863 it was placed at the actual location. In 1955 it was dismantled until it was placed at the opera in 1959. In 1982 it was re-located to its origin location. The monument is listed in the German Monument Registers.

The poet:
'Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life (1788–1805), Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision.'
