Moltkedenkmal

The Moltkedenkmal stands 2.70 meters tall and portrays Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke in a composed stance with crossed arms holding an open coat.

The monument, inaugurated in 1876, represents the first memorial dedicated to Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke during his lifetime and remains unchanged to this day.

Sculptor Ludwig Brunow created this bronze figure after receiving his first major commission, setting design standards for subsequent Moltke monuments throughout Germany.

The memorial stands in the center of Parchim at coordinates 53.4249° North and 11.8473° East, accessible through local transportation networks.

After World War II, the Soviet city commander protected the monument from demolition requests, allowing it to remain standing despite the square's name change.
