caption_attribution_description: English: In the construction plan of Jansen, a plot which was on the north end of Devlet Mahallesi (State Neighbourhood) and near to the General Directorate of Turkish Red Crescent was allocated as a park. The park built in mid-1930s. The Monument of Safety, as it was called back then, was placed in the middle of it. Sculptor Anton Hanak came to Ankara in 1932 and observed the site allocated for the monument. He visited many quarries and planned the drafts. He wanted to build a monument that would face two sides. The bronze figures which were to be put on the front side (facing the Kızılay Square) were casted in Erdberg Foundry in Vienna. Unfortunately he died in 1934. The construction of the monument was undertaken by another Austrian colleague, Josef Thorak. Güven Park ve Güven Anıtı, 1940’lı yıllar. Jansen Planı’nda, Devlet Mahallesi’nin kuzey ucunda, Kızılay Genel Müdürlüğü’ne yakın bir alan, park olarak gösteriliyordu. 1930’ların ortasında yapıldı. Ortasında o zamanki adıyla, Emniyet Abidesi yer aldı. Heykeltıraş Anton Hanak 1932’de Ankara’ya geldi. Anıt için ayrılan yeri gördü. Taş ocaklarını gezdi. Taslaklarını hazırladı. İki cepheli bir anıt yapacaktı. Ön cephede (Kızılay Meydanı’na bakan) yer alacak bronz figürleri Viyana’da Erdberg dökümhanesinde döktürdü. Ancak 1934’te ölüverdi. Anıt’ın yapımını yine Avusturyalı olan meslektaşı Josef Thorak üstlendi. Ön taraftaki iki bronz figürün ve taş kabartmaların altında, Atatürk’ün “Türk, Öğün, Çalış, Güven” sözü okunuyordu. Güven Anıtı’nın iki tarafında havuz, mermer ve ahşap oturma yerleri yapıldı. Park, çiçeğe boğuldu. Yıllar sonra, Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bakan kısmı çocuk bahçesine dönüştürüldü. Güven Park’ın bugünkü görünümü 70 yıl öncesinden çok farklıdır.
context_page_description: Güvenpark or Güven Park, is an urban public park located adjacent to the Liberty Square in the Kızılay neighborhood of Ankara in Turkey. Established in the 1930s as part of the green belts proposed in the urban plan of the rapid growing capital, the park is noted for its "Güven Monument". In mid March 2016, a bomb explosion close to it caused the death of more than 30 people while over 100 were injured.
context_section_description: Güvenpark is noted for its "Trust Monument" (Turkish: Güven Anıtı), which was proposed by Austrian architect Clemens Holzmeister (1886–1983), who designed public buildings in Ankara. The monument was created by the Austrian sculptor Anton Hanak (1875–1934). It was completed in 1935 by Austrian sculptor Josef Thorak (1889–1952), who was charged after the death of Hanak on January 6, 1934.
  The monument faces Kızılay Square, and was initially named Security Monument (Turkish: Emniyet Abidesi). It is dedicated to the Turkish security forces, which provide security, public peace and order. The bronze sculptures were cast in Erdberg, Vienna, Austria while the bronze reliefs, attached on Mamak stone, were cast in Turkey. The stonemasonary works were carried out by Austrian students of the sculptor and Turkish craftsmen.
  The monument's base is 37 m (121 ft) long. The middle block is 8 m (26 ft) high, the side wings 2 m (6.6 ft), and the bronze figures are 6 m (20 ft) tall. On one facade of the composition, apart from the main block, two musician figures are placed above Atatürk's famous phrase  "Türk, Öğün, Çalış, Güven!" (literally: Turk, boast, work, trust!). Figures of old people in the background and young people in the foreground symbolize Turkish people's transition from the past to the future. The reliefs depict Turkish villagers carrying weapons to the front, military paramedic teams in the back front, security forces, artists and thinkers envisaged for the new formation of the Republic and craftsmen in various profession groups such as black smiths, miners, potters. On the other side of the monument, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is portrayed, flanked by youth and looking into a future with hope.
  The monument was damaged twice in the 2010s, first in the 2013 protests by graffiti, and second during the coup attempt of 2016 by shrapnel. Due to those damages, the monument got maintenances by Metropolitan Municipality of Ankara in respective years.
