Central statue from the monument group in the former Siegesallee in Berlin commemorating Margrave Henry II of Brandenburg, called "Heinrich das Kind" (German for "Henry the Child"). Sculptor August Kraus. The sculpture was unveiled on 22 March 1900. The facial features and melancholy gaze of Henry the Child were derived from the 13-year-old French musical prodigy Paul Bazelaire, who was visiting Berlin at that time. The inclusion in the Siegesallee of the last Ascanian ruler Henry II, who was of virtually no significance for the history of Brandenburg, was controversial and ultimately based solely on the need to maintain symmetry, with 16 monument groups on each side of the boulevard.
