Very close to the Lübeck University of Music you can find a statue of the composer Johannes Brahms. The bronze figure was created by the sculptor Claus Görtz and shows Johannes Brahms walking, more or less relaxed, on the southern bank of the River Trave. His right hand is holding his hat and pointing into the air, as if he has just had an idea for a new composition. And legend has it that Johannes Brahms is said to actually have had ideas for new compositions on his various walks – including along the banks of the river Trave.
