Kriegerdenkmal in Düsseldorf-Stadtmitte, War memorial in Hofgarten, Düsseldorf, Germany
The memorial features a white marble structure with a reclining soldier figure holding a sword, accompanied by a lion statue at the base.
Karl Hilgers created this memorial, dedicated on October 18, 1892, to honor soldiers who died in the German unification wars between 1864 and 1871.
The classical design incorporates Greek and Roman elements, with the figure of a young warrior resting on a sarcophagus decorated with laurel branches.
The memorial stands on an elevated podium in the Hofgarten park, providing access through paved pathways and featuring illumination during evening hours.
The monument displays a distinctive inscription by Hermann Sudermann at its base, with gilded lettering reading 'Ruhm ward dem Sieger genug' in German.
