Next to the Black Church stands the statue of Johannes Honterus, a work by the Berlin sculptor Haro Magnussen, which was unveiled on August 21, 1898. The bronze bas-reliefs on the pedestal depict the humanist in his printing shop, where the first prints were made in 1539, and administering communion to a sick person. Born in 1498, Honterus was a Transylvanian-Saxon humanist scholar, religious reformer, and founder of the Saxon Gymnasium in Kronstadt. He died in 1549.

The Honterus monument was inaugurated on August 21, 1898 on the occasion of the 400th birthday of the humanist and reformer Johannes Honterus (1498-1549). It is the work of the Berlin sculptor Harro Magnussen (1861-1908). At the base of the monument there were two relief panels made of bronze (each 81 cm wide and 70 cm high). The western panel shows Honterus in his printing works, the first surviving prints of which date from 1539.
