Summary
Description Güven Park and Güven Monument (The Monument of Safety), 1940s (17060228996).jpg |
English:
In the construction plan of Jansen, a plot which was on the north end of Devlet Mahallesi (State Neighbourhood) and near to the General Directorate of Turkish Red Crescent was allocated as a park. The park built in mid-1930s. The Monument of Safety, as it was called back then, was placed in the middle of it.
Sculptor Anton Hanak came to Ankara in 1932 and observed the site allocated for the monument. He visited many quarries and planned the drafts. He wanted to build a monument that would face two sides. The bronze figures which were to be put on the front side (facing the Kızılay Square) were casted in Erdberg Foundry in Vienna. Unfortunately he died in 1934. The construction of the monument was undertaken by another Austrian colleague, Josef Thorak.
