Steuben Monument, Bronze equestrian monument at Sherman Boulevard, United States
The Steuben Monument features General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben mounted on a trotting horse, wearing a Revolutionary War uniform and raising one hand in greeting.
Created by J. Otto Schweizer in 1921, this memorial commemorates Baron von Steuben, who trained and improved the discipline of the Continental Army during the American Revolution.
The Milwaukee Steuben Society commissioned this monument, reflecting the German-American community's commitment to preserving connections with historical military figures from their heritage.
The monument stands at the intersection of West Lisbon Avenue, Lloyd Street, and North Sherman Boulevard, maintained by the Milwaukee County Parks Department.
Bronze plaques on the pedestal display correspondence between Von Steuben and George Washington, documenting their professional relationship during the Revolutionary War.
