Monument to the Battle of the Nations
Monument to the Battle of the Nations, Memorial monument in Probstheida, Leipzig, Germany
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations stands 91 meters tall, constructed from concrete and granite porphyry, featuring massive stone figures and relief sculptures throughout its structure.
The monument marks the site where 600,000 soldiers from multiple European nations fought in 1813, resulting in Napoleon Bonaparte's defeat by the combined forces of Prussia, Russia, Austria, and Sweden.
The structure houses the FORUM 1813 museum, displaying military artifacts, uniforms, and personal items that document the events of the Battle of Leipzig.
Visitors can reach the observation platform by climbing 500 steps, with access available daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM between April and October, and until 4:00 PM from November to March.
The monument contains a cupola with exceptional acoustic properties, enabling the space to function as a concert venue for musical performances throughout the year.
