a landmark in the city of St.Gallen
Vadian Denkmal的点评
点评：In a very central location by Marktplatz and Marktgasse is this larger-than-life statue of the man, who brought the reformation to St.Gallen. This is quite special, since the town with its famous abbey was also the seat of a powerful Catholic prince-abbot.
Vadian is the Latin name that Joachim von Watt (1484-1551) gave himself in the humanist tradition, when studying in Vienna. A scholar, who had studied everything possible, except theology, he then returned to his home town, working as a city physician and then - for 25 years - also as its mayor. It was during that period that his interest in the ideas of the reformation began, probably also due to his friendship with the reformer in Zurich, Huldrych Zwingli.
In 1904, thus at a time, when monuments to famous men had become fashionable, this 2.8 ton and 3.75m high bronze statue on a pedestal was erected. Everybody was present at its inauguration, but no official of the Catholic church. The sculpture is the work of Richard Kissling, known for his classicist heroic style. By coincidence I have already written two reviews in Tripadvisor of creations by him. First the sculpture to José Rizal, national hero of the Philippines, in Manila, then about the William Tell monument in Altdorf. And almost daily I pass by his statue of Alfred Escher in front of Zurich's railway station.

翻译：在 Marktplatz 和 Marktgasse 的一个非常中心的位置是这个比真人还大的雕像，他将改革带到了圣加仑。这是非常特别的，因为这个拥有著名修道院的小镇也是一位有权势的天主教亲王住持的所在地。
瓦迪安（Vadian）是约阿希姆·冯·瓦特（Joachim von Watt，1484-1551）在维也纳求学时以人文主义传统给自己起的拉丁名字。作为一名学者，除了神学，他什么都学过，然后回到家乡，担任城市医生，然后 - 长达 25 年 - 还担任市长。正是在那个时期，他开始对宗教改革的思想产生兴趣，这可能也是由于他与苏黎世的改革者 Huldrych Zwingli 的友谊。
1904 年，在名人纪念碑成为时尚的时候，这座重 2.8 吨、高 3.75 米的青铜雕像在基座上竖立起来。每个人都出席了就职典礼，但没有天主教会的官员。这座雕塑是理查德·基斯林的作品，他以古典主义英雄风格着称。巧合的是，我已经在 Tripadvisor 上写了两篇关于他创作的评论。首先是马尼拉菲律宾民族英雄何塞黎刹的雕塑，然后是阿尔特多夫的威廉泰尔纪念碑。几乎每天我都会路过他在苏黎世火车站前的阿尔弗雷德·埃舍尔 (Alfred Escher) 雕像。
