Description

Marble bust created in 1914 for the 1927 List-Harkort Monument, which was located near the Schwanenteich. After the destruction of this monument in World War II, the busts of Harkort and List were stored in the Museum of Fine Arts around 1960. In 1999 both busts were placed at the west end of the cross platform in the main station (see also the Gustav-Harkort bust).
