On the sculpture trail: Hermann Hahn's young horseman next to Hamburg's prestigious museum of art

The “Der junge Reiter” (the young rider or horseman) statue of 1908 by Hermann Hahn (1868-1945) is located next to the Kunsthalle Hamburg, which owns the sculpture—according to the imprinted text at its pedestal. The statue shares this public space at the rotunda-side of the museum with Bernhard Luginbühl's steel sculpture Kleiner Zyklop (Small Cyclops). The Reiter sculpture makes its impression on visitors during day and at night [1,2].

The German artist and sculptor Hermann Hahn is known for his realistic portrait sculptures. Hahn became a representative of neo-classicism. His portrait statues and monuments can be found in various cities including Hamburg, Bremen, Weimar, Munich and Chicago [3].
