Karl-Marx-Monument

The impressive Karl Marx statue found in Chemnitz may shock visitors with its size. The statue boasts the title of 'second-largest bust in the world', second only to the statue of Lenin's head in Russia, and stands at 7.10 meters (23.29 feet) tall. This massive statue was created by Lev Kerbel, a Soviet sculptor that was hired by the East-German government to create a statue for the city, which at the time was named Karl-Marx-Stadt. Kerbel cast the bronze statue in Leningrad and then broke the startlingly large head down into 95 pieces so that it could be shipped to Chemnitz. The statue has since become a rather beloved figure in the city, and up until 2007, the city's motto was even "Stadt mit Köpfchen," or the city with brains in reference to the giant head at the city's center. Today, visitors can still visit this unique sculpture and read the wall that stands behind the statue, which reads "Workers of the world, Unite!", the most renowned saying from the Communist Manifesto, in four different languages.
