Franz Emanuel August Geibel, born in Lübeck in 1815, is depicted enthroned near the Holy Spirit Hospital, deep in thought. This monument to Lübeck's honorary citizen and city poet was erected in 1889, just five years after his death. At that time, however, it was not located on Königstraße, but was part of Geibelplatz, which we know today as Koberg. The statue had to be removed in 1936 during a redesign of the square, which was then renamed "Koberg."

There is no longer a Geibelplatz or a Geibel-Straße that was originally planned, but the comprehensive school of the same name on Lübeck's old town island, along with its stone likeness, commemorates the poet who was extremely popular during his lifetime.
