Stock Photo - 05 July 2020, Saxony-Anhalt, Naumburg-Großjena: The life-size bronze sculpture ""Athlete"" by the graphic artist, painter and sculptor Max Klinger (1857-1920) stands at his own request at his grave on the vineyard in Naumburg-Großjena. The artist, who died in his house in the immediate vicinity on 4 July 1920, was buried here at his own request on 8 July 1920 with great public sympathy. At the grave site there is a bronze sculpture of a kneeling athlete and two marble Hermes figures with the face of Klinger and his wife Gertrud by the sculptor Johannes Hartmann. The grave is part of the ensemble of the former residence and death house and the ""Radierhäuschen"" in the vineyards near Naumburg. The house, which he lived in with his partner, the writer Elsa Asenijeff, and later with his wife Gertrud Bock, who was almost 40 years younger, is now a museum and has a permanent exhibition on Klinger's life and work.
