Siegesdenkmal, War memorial in Altstadt, Germany
The Siegesdenkmal stands 15 meters tall, constructed from bronze and granite, featuring the goddess Victoria holding a laurel wreath atop a globe.
The monument commemorates the XIV Army Corps victory at Belfort during the Franco-Prussian War and was inaugurated on October 3, 1876.
Four bronze warrior statues around the base represent different military branches, while decorative elements include inscribed tablets detailing significant battles.
Three information boards in German, French, and English measuring 40 by 70 centimeters provide context about the monument's history.
In 2018, the surrounding square changed its name from Kaiser Wilhelm I Platz to Europaplatz to reflect modern European cooperation values.
