Summary

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.
