Schillerbank in the Park on the Ilm

The Schiller Bank in the Park on the Ilm in Weimar is considered to be the place where the poet Friedrich Schiller is said to have preferred to rest. This is located at a point that gives a clear view of Goethe's garden house ; on the way between the Shakespeare monument and the Roman House not far from the Serpent Stone . Schiller probably tried to rent the garden house from Goethe in 1797, which Goethe advised against. Whether the bank was exactly at this point, or what exact shape it once had, is considered to be of secondary importance for the poet compared to its symbolic representative function. In all likelihood, she did not represent an independent conceptual component in the design of the Ilmpark. A stick bench has been handed down there since 1799, which was then given the name of the poet. The symbolism of the Schiller Bank is so great that garden furniture is still called that today. This means the same approximately 1.90 m long piece of furniture that is located in the Ilmpark at the designated location. On the occasion of Schiller's death in 1859, in the 100th year of his birth, Karl Große published a description of the bank and its cultural and historical significance. In 1907 a postcard was also issued with a representation of the Schillerbank.

aftermath

The fact that a piece of garden furniture named after him has survived to this day and in 1907 a picture postcard with the Schillerbank on the motif, plus the publications mentioned, makes it clear that there are different forms of reception. The Schiller Bank in the Park an der Ilm was not without repercussions as a park design element, without it being used primarily as a seat. It entered the memory culture of the 19th century, so that it also served as a model for commemorating the poet elsewhere. So there are u. a. in Weißwasser in Lausitz , in Pössneck and in Aschersleben , albeit in stone with the main function of a memorial to the poet. These were created on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the poet's death on May 9, 1905 in Weißwasser and Pössneck, while the one in Aschersleben was built in Aschersleben on his 151st birthday in 1910. There is also one in the Polish city of Toruń .
