German philosopher, government functionary, diplomat, and founder of Humboldt Universität. He was born in Potsdam in 1767 and died in 1835. This statue was erected in Burggrafenstraße, Berlin and shows what an elegant, somewhat curly set of sideburns the man had. Thanks to Peter Adermark for yet another fine contribution.
