Monument to Patton in Plzeň

Monument to Patton in Plzeň, War memorial in Plzeň, Czech Republic.

The Monument to General Patton stands in the Pětatřicátníků park in Plzeň. The ten-metre-tall sculpture weighs ten tonnes and is made of corten steel, an alloy used for tank armour. Its authors are Václav Zůna, Lubomír Čermák and Tomáš Beneš.

Plzeň announced a competition for the monument's design in 2009; 37 proposals were submitted and two were excluded for failing the conditions. The jury included the general's grandson George Patton Waters. The sculpture was unveiled on 1 May 2015 before veterans who had liberated the city in 1945.

The monument stands in the Pětatřicátníků gardens, a public park in central Plzeň. Its 2015 unveiling was attended by veterans who had helped liberate the city in May 1945, and the jury that chose the design included Patton's grandson George Patton Waters.

The ten-metre, ten-tonne corten sculpture stands outdoors in the Pětatřicátníků park, not in a museum building, so it can be viewed at any time of day. The site is a short walk from the centre of Plzeň, near the coordinates 49.74622, 13.37347.

The sculpture is ten metres tall and weighs ten tonnes, made of corten steel, an alloy also used for tank armour. The Vítkovice ironworks donated its production, and General Patton's grandson George Patton Waters sat on the jury that chose the design from 37 entries.
