Burschenschaftsdenkmal, Monument on Göpelskuppe hill in Eisenach, Germany
The circular stone tower stands 33 meters high on a stone pedestal, surrounded by nine columns that support an architrave with inscriptions.
The monument, inaugurated in 1902, commemorates 87 fraternity members who died during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 and marks German unification.
The interior features statues of German personalities and memorial plaques listing the names of fallen fraternity members from German universities.
The monument opens Tuesday through Sunday with different seasonal hours, and admission costs 4 euros for adults and 3 euros for reduced tickets.
The ceiling painting by Otto Gussmann, destroyed in 1963 during the GDR period, underwent complete restoration in 2007 after German reunification.
