Monument Dr. Eeltsje Halbertsma

Highlight • Monument

The three brothers Joost, Eeltsje and Tsjalling Halbertsma published the book Lapekoer in 1822, with the aim of inspiring Frisians to read and write in their own language. Several books and collections soon followed, several of which are Frisian classics. Folk literature. Especially the prose and especially the poetry of Eeltsje Halbertsma was popular.

To honour him, a statue of him was erected in 1904 at the initiative of the ‘Selskip foar Fryske Taal en Skriftekennisse’. The inscription reads: “Oan Dr Eeltsje Halbertsma – Lju bliuwe ás Fryske tael en liet”. The statue first stood inconspicuously in a corner of the park and became weathered due to the damp location under the trees. It was therefore renovated in 1994 and moved to its current location.
