Kepler Monument in Regensburg
About
The Kepler Monument in Regensburg is a significant yet understated attraction, paying tribute to the influential astronomer Johannes Kepler. Designed by the architect Emanuel Joseph von Herigoyen, the monument offers a glimpse into the city's rich scientific heritage in less than an hour's visit. Its location is convenient, being just a short walk from the main train station and bustling city center.

POSITIV: + Historisch bedeutsam: Errichtet im Jahr 1808 ist es eines der ältesten Denkmäler der Stadt. Es wurde dem Astronomen Johannes Kepler, der 1630 in Regensburg verstarb und hier begraben wurde gewidmet. + Künstlerisch und architektonisch wertvoll: Entworfen von Emanuel d’Herigoyen als klassizistischer Monopteros (säulengetragener Rundtempel). + Gestaltung: Büste aus Carrara-Marmor von Friedrich Döll, Sockel aus rotem Marmor, sehr hochwertige Materialien und eine kunstvolle Ausführung. + Teil der Regensburger Wissenschaftsgeschichte es ergänzt das Keplerhaus und das „document Kepler“-Museum, zusammen ist es ein eindrucksvolles Ensemble zur Würdigung von Keplers Lebenswerk. NEGATIV: - Traurig aber mit Graffiti beschmiert und mit Müll verdreckt. Außerdem wird dies als Treffpunkte für Drogenabhängig und Obdachlose genutzt. - Wenig touristisch erschlossen: Wird oft übersehen, da es etwas versteckt im Grünbereich liegt. Keine Infotafeln oder Erläuterungen direkt am Denkmal. Besucher erhalten kaum Kontext ohne Vorwissen. FAZIT: Es wäre ein wunderschönes historisches Denkmal, wenn sich gewisse Personen anständig verhalten würden und das Denkmal nicht beschmieren und vermüllen würden.

Another beautiful landmark in th3 park

Leider vermüllt und beschmiert
