On my way to our Deutsch Academy (actually close to it), I saw a statue that impressed me. It is the statue of two important men from times of Prussia, that most of us has heard about. They are philosopher and diplomat Wilhelm von Humboldt and Christian Peter Wilhelm Friedrich Beuth, known as industrial reformatory and Prussian statesman. Today both names are famous for the universities that got names after them. Actually, Humboldt University got mane after philosopher Wilhelm and his brother Alexander, who was naturalist.

 

This statue or ‘standbilder’, made by Gustav Blaeser in 1878, reminded me on how dialogue is important not only for personal relations, but also for making great things for wider community, your nation, the world… Very nice standbilder!

 

P.S. That white paper is the logo of Deutsch Academy, but because of the flesh it is not visible as it should be…
