history
When the Kingdom of Hanover under the leadership of King George V ceased to exist as an independent state after Hanover lost the Battle of Langensalza and the subsequent annexation by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 , various “welf-loyal citizens” came together to finance a monument together. The Langensalza monument was finally erected as a donation to the city of Celle in 1869 on the street Im Kreise .
But the Prussian military administration appealed against the erection of the memorial, so that the memorial was removed from public space and from 1869 to 1872 it was initially stored in a private garden at Hannoversche Straße 15 .
Only after the end of the German Empire could the monument be rebuilt during the Weimar Republic in 1920.
In 1959, the monument was the Garrison Church at Langensalzaplatz translocated and - almost a quarter century later - in 1982 moved to its present site in French garden.
More recently, the crowning figure of the Lower Saxony horse has been stolen from the Langensalza monument several times ; even specially made duplicates were repeatedly stolen.
