    Fritz Steinhoff is considered a type of politician who was characterized by his closeness to the people and personal modesty.

    His main achievements are certainly his courageous fight against the National Socialists and his achievements in the reconstruction of the city of Hagen after 1945.
    The monument at the town hall, which was inaugurated in 1989, commemorates the former mayor of Hagen (SPD).

    The Fritz Steinhoff Monument commemorates one of Hagen's most important politicians. Steinhoff, long-serving mayor and later Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia, played a crucial role in the city's reconstruction after the Second World War.

    The monument depicts him in a calm, upright posture – not as a heroic statesman, but as a people-oriented democrat who stood for social justice and the rebuilding of an open society. The simple design underscores precisely this: Steinhoff is not presented as a monumental figure, but as a person who took responsibility and inspired trust.

    Statue of a former politician.
    It is remarkable for Hagen that it is still standing undamaged.
