Shape and history

Similar to some monuments to the Battle of the Nations in the Köthener Land (e.g. in Weißandt-Gölzau or Quellendorf ), the small monument in Kanena is a boulder that was erected on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig in 1913. The iron cross in the upper area has almost faded . The inscription is also difficult to decipher. It reads: October 18/1813 - 1913 .
