Bear Monument, Historical monument in Quedlinburg, Germany
The Bear Monument features a glacial erratic boulder with a cast-iron memorial plate situated along forest tracks near the Bremer Teich and Viktorshöhe hill.
The memorial marks the location where hunters killed the last bear of the Anhalt Forest in 1696, representing a significant change in local wildlife population.
The monument maintains a connection to regional heritage through its integration into the Harzer Wandernadel network of hiking trails as checkpoint number 184.
Visitors can reach the monument by taking a train to Quedlinburg station, followed by Bus 200 toward Gernrode and a short walking distance.
The monument shares historical importance with the Luchsstein near Lautenthal, which commemorates the last wild lynx killed in the Harz region in 1818.
