At Göttingen’s University, the Platz der Göttinger Sieben honors 7 professors’ stand for justice.
Here we are at the University of Gottingham where in 1837 professors protested against the king’s abolishment of the Constitution. And right behind me, right there where you see the G7, that is the memorial to the God 7. Now, let’s take a closer look. Okay, as we get closer, we can see that the memorial is covered in graffiti and there’s even a bike lock attached to it. Not exactly the respectful homage I was expecting, but I guess it has been almost 200 years. On the bright side, it is a good place for the university students to relax on a warm September
At Göttingen’s University, the Platz der Göttinger Sieben honors 7 professors’ stand for justice. A minimalist graffiti-adorn memorial marks the square, yet the true tribute is alive—students still gather in this open-air space of free thought & dialogue. ✨📚
