Highlights
“Motherhood”, c. 1933 (sandstone)
Hans Dammann (1867-1942) – an outstanding sculptor who worked in Berlin. He worked within the Neoclassical movement. He was one of the most highly regarded creators of funerary monuments.
The sculpture depicts a mother with two children. The gentle facial features, the dignified calm and the gesture of drawing the children close to her body symbolise maternal love. Since 1933, the monument has stood in front of the entrance to what is now the Oncology Institute (in 1933 it was the Landes-Frauenklinik – a maternity clinic).
