Description
Ignaz Semmelweis Statue is a unique bronze sculpture located in Heidelberg. It commemorates the Hungarian physician who revolutionized medicine by introducing the practice of hand washing to prevent infections.
The statue, created by Friedrich A. Müller in 1971, depicts Semmelweis washing his hands - a symbolic gesture that saved the lives of countless mothers suffering from puerperal fever.
Located near the former children's clinic, it is a fascinating spot for lovers of medical history and anyone interested in Heidelberg's cultural heritage.
