The mountain square with the Burow monument

The Burow bust was erected in Koenigsberg in honor of the scientist and doctor Karl Heinrich Burow . After the popular doctor's death, Emil Hundrieser and former patients erected a bust in front of his house three years later in 1877 . The bust stood on a 4 m high fluted iron column and was the landmark on the mountain square ( 54 ° 42 ′ 38.8 ″  N , 20 ° 30 ′ 58.4 ″  E ). The memorial was saved and is now in the college dormitory Collegium Albertinum in Göttingen .
