Den tapre Landsoldat, Bronze sculpture in Fredericia, Denmark
This bronze monument depicts a standing soldier holding a rifle, wearing a traditional military uniform from the mid-19th century Danish infantry.
The sculpture was inaugurated in 1858 to commemorate Danish soldiers who fought in the First Schleswig War from 1848 to 1850.
The monument draws its name from a military song that became a symbol of Danish patriotism during the Schleswig-Holstein conflicts.
The statue stands in a central plaza where visitors can examine the detailed craftsmanship and read informational plaques about its military significance.
This sculpture represents the first public monument in Denmark dedicated to the common soldier rather than military commanders or royalty.
