Kriegerdenkmal bei der Kilianskirche, War memorial near Kilianskirche, Bad Windsheim, Germany.
The stone knight figure reaches eight meters in height and holds a sword pointed downward while wearing armor decorated with Windsheim insignia.
The memorial, constructed between 1927 and 1928, honors soldiers who died during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and the First World War.
The monument incorporates medieval Roland symbolism, traditionally representing civic rights and freedoms in German cities through knight statues with swords.
The memorial stands at Dr.-Martin-Luther-Platz 4, where visitors can examine inscriptions on both sides of the structure's base.
The statue combines traditional Roland imagery with war memorial functions, featuring a later addition of plaques commemorating Second World War casualties.
