Blücherdenkmal, Bronze monument at Salt Square, Wrocław, Poland.

The bronze statue depicted General Blücher wearing a Roman toga, with his left hand raised and holding a sword in his right hand.

The monument, unveiled in 1827, commemorated Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard von Blücher, who commanded forces against Napoleon during the Battle of Waterloo.

The statue represented Prussian military strength, with four eagles connected by garlands at its base and an inscription reading Mit Gott für König und Vaterland.

The monument stood in the center of Salt Square until 1944, when authorities removed and buried it in the Botanical Garden to protect it from damage.

The sculpture, designed by Christian Daniel Rauch and Carl Ferdinand Langhans from Berlin, arrived in Wrocław in 1824 but waited three years for its granite pedestal.
