Befreiungsdenkmal, War memorial in Innsbruck, Austria
The Befreiungsdenkmal features five gated archways and stands 20 meters high, crowned by a 3.5-meter copper eagle holding a shield at Eduard-Wallnöfer Square.
French military authorities commissioned this neoclassical monument in 1946, completing it in 1948 to honor resistance fighters against National Socialism and fallen Allied soldiers.
The memorial displays 124 names of resistance members and includes the coats of arms of all nine Austrian federal states arranged in a cross pattern.
The monument stands in central Innsbruck near the Audioversum Science Center, with wheelchair access provided through recent plaza renovations completed in 2011.
The inscription 'Pro Libertate Austriae Mortuis' adorns the architrave, translating to 'For those who died for Austria's freedom.'
