The Smith of Kochel, War memorial and fountain in Sendling, Germany.

The stone memorial features a tall figure of a blacksmith holding a large flag, standing as a central element near St. Margaret Church.

The monument commemorates the Sendling Christmas Massacre of 1705, where Bavarian farmers fought against Austrian troops during the Spanish Succession War.

The memorial represents a symbol of Bavarian resistance, depicting the mythical smith who led farmers in their fight against Habsburg occupation.

Located on Lindwurmstraße across from Old Sendling Church, the monument includes information panels describing the historical events in German.

Every December 23rd, residents participate in a procession from the parish church to Sendling cemetery to honor the fallen fighters.
