Martin Behaim Nuremberg Behaim monument cartography history German sculpture

A historical graphic depicts the Martin Behaim monument located at Theresienplatz in Nuremberg. The monument honors Behaim, a merchant, navigator, and cartographer known for creating the oldest surviving terrestrial globe between 1490 and 1493.

Designed by sculptor Johann Wolfgang Rößner and unveiled on September 17, 1890, the bronze statue portrays Behaim as a Knight of the Order of Christ. The monument features a sandstone pedestal with neo-Gothic decorations and allegorical female figures created by Johann Suter, representing commerce and science.

The graphic is an autotype based on a template by Ferdinand Schmidt from the 1890 publication Die Gartenlaube.
