In 2006, sculptor Alice Melikian completed the statue of Armin T. Wegner, commissioned by the Armin T. Wegner Society of USA as a gift to the citizens of Wuppertal in Germany. The bronze statue was then prominently displayed in the lobby of the Gymnasium Bayreuther Straße, strategically situated between monuments commemorating the two world wars.
