description
The monument to the victorious battles against Napoleon was designed in the form of a Gothic tabernacle from 1817-1818 by the Royal Prussian Iron Foundry . The monument is approx. 6 m high and weighs 3.5 t. It is crowned by an iron cross whose design, e.g. B. as an order, also goes back to Karl Friedrich Schinkel . The epitaph is deliberately chosen to be simple:
The fallen
heroes gratefully honor the
king and
fatherland.
You rest
in peace.
