Monument to Ludwig Nobel

The monument to Ludwig Nobel was opened on July 26, 2013. Ludwig Nobel is a Russian and Swedish engineer, scientist, industrialist, philanthropist, elder brother and business partner of the famous founder of the Nobel Prize Alfred Nobel. Most of the activities of the Nobel Empire took place in the Yaroslavl Territory. In Rybinsk there was an oil refinery of the Nobel brothers and the largest oil base on the Upper Volga.

The monument opened in Rybinsk became the first monument to Ludwig Nobel in Russia. The initiative to install it belongs to the foundation, named after the great industrialist and philanthropist, and is supported by the authorities. The pedestal, the author of which was the Moscow sculptor Yaroslav Borodin, is located in a green area in the city center, in close proximity to Cathedral Square. Around the monument landscaped area and landscape works were carried out, as a result, the alley of the winners of the Ludwig Nobel Prize was formed. Today, the winners of this award, revived in 2005, 120 years after its foundation, are 39 people – iconic personalities of our time with outstanding professional achievements.
