Perleberger Roland, Roland statue at Market Square in Perleberg, Germany.

The sandstone Roland statue stands 5.5 meters tall, depicting a knight in decorated plate armor holding a sword and shield with Brandenburg eagle.

The first mention of a Roland statue in Perleberg dates to 1498, while the current stone figure bears the year 1546 on its supporting pillar.

The statue's octagonal base features reliefs illustrating scenes from the legend of Hercules, although these carvings have deteriorated over centuries.

In 1954, authorities moved the statue 1.6 meters toward the town hall to accommodate increasing traffic flow through the market square.

The statue includes specific details such as a visor helmet, lion head decorations on the breastplate, and bear claw footwear in its design.
