Walhalla memorial, Hall of fame memorial in Donaustauf, Germany.
The marble temple structure rises 55 meters high above the Danube River, featuring 65 plaques and 130 busts of notable German-speaking individuals.
Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria initiated the construction in 1807 during the Napoleonic Wars to strengthen German identity, completing the memorial in 1842.
The memorial displays busts and commemorative plaques of German-speaking politicians, scientists, artists, and rulers spanning over 2,000 years of history.
Visitors can access the memorial from March to October between 9:00 and 18:00, while winter hours run from November to March with split sessions.
The building incorporates an innovative iron roof structure and combines Greek architectural elements with modern 19th-century construction techniques.
