The Beethoven Memorial, located in the middle of the Münsterplatz, in front of the Main Post Office, is a Bonn landmark. The City of Bonn can thank pianist Franz Liszt for this memorial, as he performed throughout Germany and gave the proceeds to the Beethoven Society. In addition, he gave a huge donation of over 10,000 Francs, which was used to erect the memorial. The memorial was eventually designed according to plans drawn up by the Dresden builder Ernst Hähnel in a Nuremberg workshop. On the 12th August 1845, it was unveiled to Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert as well as King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, Alexander von Humboldt and of course Franz Liszt. Even today, tourists stand in wonder before the memorial of this great musician.
