Portrait busts of physicians and politicians have graced the gardens and outdoor facilities of the Charité since the eighteen-eighties. The memorial statues were created to honor great personalities who contributed vitally to the reputation of the Charité in their time. Altogether 20 statues were erected over a period of more than a hundred years. Eight works of art no longer exist. In the autumn of 2006, a lasting tribute to their memory was provided in an "Inventory" of outdoor memorial objects erected by the artist Thorsten Goldberg in front of the building that houses the Department of Internal Medicine. Twelve other memorial statues have survived and are now part of the Charité Portrait Collection Inventory.
This is their history.
