After the death of his childhood friend, the Swabian sculptor Johann Heinrich Dannecker made the decision: "... I want to make Schiller alive, but he can not live otherwise than colossal." Schiller must live colossally in the sculpture, ... " This decision was characterized by the desire to create a worthy monument not only to the genius of the poet, but also to the friend's personality.

The original of the bust in Carrara marble was created in the years 1805 to 1810. An authentic plaster cast is now in the Duchess Anna Amalia Library in Weimar.

Weimar (Germany)

The cultural heritage of the city of Weimar in Thuringia is diverse: Goethe, Schiller, Liszt, the Duchess Anna Amalia, Nietzsche and many more have lived here and left their mark. For example, Weimar has more than 11 UNESCO World Heritage sites, which are maintained by the Klassik Stiftung Weimar and made accessible to the public.

The Klassik Shop Weimar is actually more than just one: We run all the museum shops for Klassik Stiftung Weimar, e.g. in the historic homes of Goethe and Schiller, in the Anna Amalia Library, and we also take care of the assortments in the museums of e.g. Liszt, Nietzsche and in the castles and parks of the city and its surroundings.
