Siegessäule, War memorial in Siegburg Market Square, Germany
The central monument features a winged Victoria statue standing on a sphere, holding a laurel wreath and originally carrying a palm branch.
The memorial commemorates soldiers from Siegburg and Sieg district who died during the German unification wars of 1866 and 1870-1871.
The monument displays inscriptions in capital letters, including 'God was with us, honor to him' and soldiers' names accompanied by Iron Cross symbols.
The memorial stands in the pedestrian zone, where glass bottles are prohibited during carnival celebrations to protect the historical structure.
English occupation forces removed the original gas-powered candelabras in 1919, and the Victoria statue's palm branch disappeared in the 1990s.
