Martin Luther Memorial Lutherplatz , in
front of the Luther Church
(location)
At the time of its inauguration on June 21, 1904, the Luther memorial was the first Luther memorial in Silesia . The statue is a replica of the Luther memorial in Worms by Ernst Rietschel. The 1.5 tonne and 3.40 meter high bronze statue was melted down in 1942 for armament purposes. In 1981 former Görlitzers founded a support association in Aumühle near Hamburg to restore the Luther monument. The mold reappeared a short time later in the foundry in Lauchhammer . The 70,000 DM collected by the association were used to restore the mold and then re-cast the monument. For the 500th birthday of Martin Luther on October 30, 1983, the new monument was ceremonially unveiled at its old location in front of the Luther Church. Ernst Rietschel 1904 Martin Luther Memorial

Robert Oettel memorial Vineyard area, in the
middle of the park railway area
(location)
Robert Oettel came from an important Görlitz merchant family and with his successful poultry breeding and his knowledge laid the foundation for the systematic pursuit of breeding goals in the poultry industry. In 1852 he founded the Chicken Society in Görlitz. It was the first poultry breeding association in Germany. In 1898, on the occasion of Oettel's 100th birthday, representatives of the German pedigree poultry breeders' associations decided to erect a memorial to him in his hometown. The monument was ceremoniously unveiled on June 15, 1901. On the large granite stone there is a bronze plate with the portrait of Oettel, a life-size sculpture of a rooster of the Bergischer Kräher breed next to the portrait and three bronze plates with scenes from poultry farming on the stone plinth on which the granite stone is enthroned. The bronze jewelry was removed in 1942 and delivered to the armaments industry. By chance one could find the bronze plaques in a so-called bell cemetery after the war and let them into the memorial again. In 1992, a replica of the rooster returned to its place at the instigation of the Federation of German Purebred Poultry Breeders. The monument was complete again.

(location)
The figure of the town servant and the gargoyles probably date back to 1590. The town servant carries a flag in his right hand and with his left hand he leans on the coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony . Originally it was probably the Bohemian coat of arms. A lion sits on his right side. In the middle of the pillar on which the servant is standing, water flows from four heads into the well basin. Among the gargoyles were probably the coats of arms of the then so-called city ​​powerhouses Christian Moller von Mollerstein, Karl Förster, Bartholomäus Gehler and Elias Dietrich until the 18th century . The coats of arms were probably removed during repair work. In 1856 the fountain was torn down and the figure was placed on a new fountain basin behind the Schwibbogen on Klosterplatz. The fountain was later placed back on the Obermarkt in front of the Schwibbogen. After the fall of the Wall it was given its current location on the axis of Brüderstraße . The original figure of St. George is located in the museum passage at Neißstraße 30 and has been replaced by a true-to-original replica.

In 1881 the city had an ornamental fountain built in the middle of Wilhelmsplatz. In the middle of the stone fountain bowl was a group of cast zinc figures. Above the lower edge of the base with putti in large shells was the youthful figure of a kneeling boy with a swan , who carried a bowl on his head and arms. A fountain gushed from the bowl. Water also gushed in the plain between the putti and the youthful figure. The fountain system was removed in 1939. Richard Drake 1881 1919 Wilhelmsplatz fountain
