Apel-stones, Historical monument group in Lindenau, Leipzig, Germany.

The Apel-stones consist of 50 individual obelisk-shaped monuments spread across locations that mark events from the Battle of Leipzig in 1813.

Theodor Apel, a Leipzig writer, commissioned sculptor A. F. Aster to create these commemorative stones between 1861 and 1865 to document battle events.

Each stone in the collection functions as a physical record, marking specific moments and locations connected to a major Napoleonic Wars conflict.

The monuments are accessible at 38 Karl-Heine-Straße in Leipzig, with coordinates 51.26487 latitude and 12.44705 longitude for precise navigation.

Stone number 47 stands out among the collection by featuring detailed historical information carved on two separate sides of its surface.
