Baschkirenstein, Memorial stone near Russian Church, Leipzig, Germany
The Baschkirenstein consists of a granite boulder with text plates in German, Bashkir, and Russian languages commemorating Bashkir soldiers.
During the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, Bashkir regiments participated within the Russian army units, forming part of the Silesian, Northern, and Reserve armies.
The memorial stone displays an engraved silhouette of a Bashkir horseman archer, representing the traditional military equipment of these light cavalry units.
The monument stands at coordinates 51.3239086, 12.3959285, with regular remembrance ceremonies taking place on significant historical dates throughout the year.
The text plates were originally made of bronze but after their theft, they were replaced with glass versions maintaining the trilingual inscriptions.
