From Marion Tauschwitz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visiting Czernowitz in September 2013 our guide took us the granite base of the former Schiller-monument that had used to stand in front of the theatre before young romanian nationalists carried it away in 1920. Schiller has not been found again – but the base was taken to the small park in (former) Maria-Theresiengasse (behind “Deutsches Haus”) – where it still is. Nobody seems to care.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Die Gartenlaube”<\/strong>, Nr. 27, 1907: “Das Schiller-Denkmal in Czernowitz. (Zu der untenstehenden Abbildung.) Es ist ein erfreuliches Zeichen f\u00fcr die noch heute unverminderte Wertsch\u00e4tzung des Deutschesten unserer Dichter, da\u00df in der gemischtsprachigen Stadt Czernowitz in der Bukowina der 150. Geburtstag Schillers am 10. November v. J. durch die Enth\u00fcllung eines Schillerdenkmals gefeiert worden ist. Der Sch\u00f6pfer des Denkmals, dessen Ausf\u00fchrung auf den Antrag Dr. Anton Norsts hin vom Gemeinderat einstimmig beschlossen wurde, ist der Bildhauer Georg Leisek, der auch den sch\u00f6nen, figurenreichen Fries des Wiener Zentralfriedhofs ‘Eingang in die Ewigkeit’ geschaffen hat. Das Denkmal selbst, aus karrarischem Marmor gehauen, steht in einer Brunnenanlage vor dem Stadttheater und zeigt den Dichterf\u00fcrsten auf hohem Sockel stehend, schlicht und hoheitsvoll zugleich.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Schiller Monument had been standing in front of the city theater since 1907, but later it did not fit into the Romanian national policy on Bukovina, and due to the decree of the 8th Infantry Division commander \u2013 general Zadik, the monument was displaced in 1922 into a closed courtyard of the German house, and after the Second World War the figure of the poet was\u00a0 destroyed and only the pedestal remains.<\/strong><\/p>\n
