dbo:abstract
  • Das Denkmal der Luftheroen (Monumentul Eroilor Aerului, auch Monumentul Aviatorilor genannt) ist ein von den Bildhauern (1895–1944) und (1903–1979) geschaffenes Bukarester Fliegerdenkmal und Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Entsprechend dem in der Zwischenkriegszeit international gepflegten elitären Kult der (meist der Aristokratie angehörigen) Fliegerasse wurde 1927 ein hochrangig besetztes Komitee gegründet, um den in Erfüllung ihrer Aufgabe abgestürzten rumänischen Fliegern ein entsprechendes Denkmal zu setzen. Nach Einsendung von 20 Entwürfen wurde in geheimer Abstimmung der Entwurf von Lidia Kotzebuie prämiert. Er zeigt einen geflügelten Mann auf einem Obelisken. Weitere Figuren umranken die Basis des Monuments. Das 20 m hohe Denkmal (davon beträgt die Höhe der krönenden Figur 5 m) wurde am 22. Juli 1935 feierlich enthüllt und den Eroilor Aerului gewidmet. Es befindet sich im Norden des Stadtzentrums auf der ebenfalls den Fliegern gewidmeten Piața Aviatorilor, etwa in der Mitte des Bulevardul Aviatorilor, unweit des Triumphbogens. (de)

The structure, 20 m (65.6 ft) high, is made up of bronze sculptures resting on an obelisk-shaped stone pedestal, which in turn stands atop four trapezoidal prisms linked to each other by arcs. Beneath this entire complex is a circular stone base. Attached to the top of the obelisk, which reaches 15 m, is a 5-meter, 5-ton statue depicting a flying man, his wings outstretched. The folds of a shawl fall from his waist onto the obelisk. Three aviators, each in a different stage of flight attempt, are depicted around the base of the obelisk. On the pedestal are the aviators' insignia, helmet and equipment, as well as engraved plaques with the names of Romanian airmen who had crashed to their deaths by the time the monument was built. These men died pursuing various goals: skill development, performance, adventure and fighting in World War I. The first name is that of Gheorghe Caranda, killed on 20 April 1912 on an airfield during a training flight; the last is that of Sava Rotaru, killed on 29 May 1934 in thick fog in the hills around Cernavodă. After the official dedication, 99 additional names have been posted on the North bottom side of the pedestal. (en)
