VVN-Denkmal, Cultural heritage monument in Käthe-Kollwitz-Park, Meissen, Germany.
The VVN-Denkmal stands on Kerstingstrasse with a granite pedestal measuring 8.60 meters in height and features a terrace spanning 12.5 meters by 7.5 meters.
Originally built in 1911 as King Albert Monument, the Red Army removed the equestrian statue in 1945, leaving only the base which was later transformed in 1958.
The monument displays relief artwork by Lea Grundig depicting concentration camp scenes and lists 26 names of Meissen residents persecuted during the Nazi regime.
The Monument Preservation Office oversees maintenance of the structure, which visitors can locate at coordinates 51.157583 latitude and 13.4685 longitude in Meissen.
The granite offering bowl, intended to commemorate Nazi regime victims, was removed after 1990 due to vandalism, while the original relief now stands in an adjacent park.
