Hermann Heights Monument
Hermann Heights Monument, Bronze monument in New Ulm, United States
The copper statue rises 102 feet tall on a hill, depicting Hermann the Cheruscan holding a raised sword while facing east over New Ulm.
The Sons of Hermann organization funded the construction of this monument in 1897 to honor German heritage in the United States.
The structure represents the Germanic victory over Roman forces in 9 CE, symbolizing independence and cultural identity for German-American immigrants.
