The year 2004 was the commemoration of the centenary of the death of the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, a native of Colmar and creator, in particular, of the "Liberté enlightening the world" famously known as 'Statue of Liberty' erected in the harbor of New York. A series of initiatives and events as well as many events have been scheduled in Colmar for this occasion. Among these, the Municipality of Colmar has chosen to install at the northern entrance of the city a replica of the Statue of Liberty. The work is intended to honor the most prestigious of the Colmarians and to pay homage to the work of art which remains certainly the most famous in the world. This statue is also a link with the United States already symbolized, since 1986, by the signing of a pact of twinning between Colmar and the university town of Princeton, located not far from New York. The statue of Liberty "colmarienne", a height of 12 meters is exact replica The chosen site favors the most "possible" access to the heart of the city. Thus, like its prestigious elder in New York, the Colmarian replica welcomes those who enter the city by the busiest route, while being part of the daily landscape of Colmariens.

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore." -The New Colossus, Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) No, the famous poem isn't here on the Statue of Liberty in Colmar but it is a 12 meter (39 foot) tall replica of the famous statue. It is a quarter-scale in tribute to Colmar-native Auguste Bartholdi who designed the one in New York. This one was unveiled in 2004 to commemorate the centennial of his passing. It is in a traffic roundabout but there is parking not too far away.

It is a very interesting attraction and nice replica of the State of Liberty New York. The monument is quite tall, however i believe the location of it is totally inacceptable and unpractical from touristic point of view.10min drive with a car from Colmar City Center and in the middle of shopping centres/industrial zone and in the middle of street on the round way....it makes its visit difficult. I think Colmar Tourist organization should seriously think about moving it somewhere centric...Could be such a nice Bertholdi roundwalk (museum-fountain-statue) if moved nearer to the historical city centre...such a pity....

As others have said, this monument is a 12 metere high replica of the Statue of Liberty. The designer of the statue was born in Colmar, hence its presence here. The monument stands in the enter or a very, very busy roundabout. There are parking lots close by, but the road is so busy I had no intention of getting my young kids out of the car to walk up to it, nor is the area very picturesque. We drove by and snapped a photo and called it a day - at least the road is a main route to Colmar so not out of the way by any means.

The Statue of Liberty in Colmar is a unique commemoration of sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, born in the city, who crafted the iconic Statue of Liberty in New York. Standing 12 meters tall, this tribute is located just a short drive from the city center, situated in a roundabout. Although the statue's placement is not appealing at all, taking a few extra minutes to park near the local shopping center allows for a better vantage point for capturing this remarkable landmark.

L’année 2004 était celle de la commémoration du centenaire de la mort du sculpteur Auguste Bartholdi, natif de Colmar et créateur, notamment, de la « Liberté éclairant le monde » érigée dans la rade de New-York. Une série d’initiatives et d’animations ainsi que de nombreuses manifestations ont été programmées à Colmar à cette occasion. Parmi celles-ci, la Municipalité de Colmar a choisi de faire installer à l’entrée Nord de la ville une réplique de la statue de la Liberté. L’œuvre, est destinée à honorer le plus prestigieux des Colmariens et à rendre hommage à l’œuvre d’art qui reste certainement la plus célèbre au monde. Cette statue est aussi un lien de plus avec les Etats-Unis déjà symbolisé, depuis 1986, par la signature d’un pacte de jumelage entre Colmar et la ville universitaire de Princeton, située non loin de New-York. La statue de la Liberté « colmarienne », d’une hauteur de 12 mètres au flambeau, est réalisée en matériau composite teinté dans la masse pour lui donner l’aspect du cuivre patiné. Le site d’implantation retenu privilégie l’accès le plus « passant » possible vers le cœur de la cité. Ainsi, à l’instar de sa prestigieuse aînée de New-York, la réplique colmarienne accueille ceux qui pénètrent en ville par la voie la plus fréquentée, tout en s’inscrivant dans le paysage quotidien des Colmariens.
