This monument stands in tribute to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, authors of The Communist Manifesto. The monument is a sculpture consisting of larger than life bronze sculptures of a sitting Karl Marx and and a standing Friedrich Engels. Around the monument are columns depicting scenes related to communism. There’s also a sculpture that’s obviously been split in to with one part showing an impression of half relief sculptures on the other, a not so subtle reference to the division of Germany. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if the monument should stand given the history of communism.

Nice place for walk. You can meet the Marx and Engels statues, founders of the Communist movement. I don't think that they are an incredible sculpting work. For those who studied the philosophical and political thoughts of Marx and his enormous influence together with the supporting of Engels, he can visit these statues and walk through the park. It is good, but nothing special.
Good spot to come to after work and ponder whether one's economic output should be a causal indicator of one's hierarchical placement in today's heavily capital-oriented social order. Minus one star for Russian people crying nearby.
I visited Berlin, Germany in May 2019 as a student in the Rutgers University Learning Abroad program. The Marx-Engels-Forum sculpture was part of a group urban navigation assignment. Our professor had us navigate through Berlin in small groups on an urban scavenger hunt, and this landmark was my group's final destination. I really enjoyed seeing this piece of art in person and researching its meaning. I absolutely love how Berlin embraces the arts! It was a refreshing experience for this American college student.
Worship this 2 means no knowledge of history. It’s a shame it still standing.
