War memorial Germania

The Germania memorial rises 8 meters tall, featuring a female figure holding a sword and shield, representing German strength and protection.

The memorial was constructed in 1877 to commemorate German soldiers who lost their lives during conflicts in the nineteenth century.

Local residents gather at the memorial during national remembrance days to pay tribute to fallen soldiers through ceremonies and flower offerings.

The memorial stands in a central location of Witten, requiring periodic maintenance to preserve its stone structure and commemorative inscriptions.

The Germania figure wears a distinctive crown adorned with oak leaves, combining classical military symbolism with German national identity elements.
