Facts and practical information

The Iron Man, more correctly New Iron Man, is a statue in Kleve. It is located in the baroque gardens with amphitheater at the Tiergarten and was made by Stephan Balkenhol. The statue commemorates Prince Johann Moritz of Nassau-Siegen and was unveiled on his 400th birthday on June 18, 2004.

Its predecessor was a 17th century column statue of the same name, which probably depicted the mercenary Martin Schenk von Nideggen, the builder of the Schenkenschanz fortress in the fork of the Rhine and Waal rivers. This image column was destroyed by French revolutionary troops in 1794.
