Zöllner monument
On the occasion of Schiller's 100th birthday, he conducted twenty choral societies in a festive concert. After Zöllner's death, these choral societies joined together to form the "Zöllnerbund", which existed until 1945. In addition to numerous compositions and choral collections, Zöllner's setting of the song "Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust", in its version for male choirs, became one of the best-known German-language hiking and folk songs.
Zöllner died in Leipzig in 1860 and is still considered a formative figure in 19th century male choral music in Central Germany. The Zöllner monument was erected in Leipzig's Rosental in 1868 in honor of this German musician.
