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

Blücherdenkmal is a bronze monument located at Salt Square in Wrocław, depicting a Prussian general in Roman dress. The figure holds a sword in the right hand while the left arm is raised in a commanding gesture.

The monument was unveiled in 1827, honoring Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard von Blücher who commanded forces against Napoleon. The general played a decisive role in military campaigns that led to Napoleon's downfall.

The monument was a symbol of Prussian authority, featuring eagles and decorative garlands at its base. The inscription reflected the political importance it held for the community of the time.

The site where the monument once stood at Salt Square is freely accessible and easy to navigate. The location is central within the old town and can be reached on foot from nearby landmarks.

The sculpture was designed by artists from Berlin but had to wait three years before being installed at the square in 1827. During World War II, it was removed from Salt Square and hidden in the Botanical Garden for protection.
