Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg memorial
Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg memorial, Bronze monument at Wesertor, Minden, Germany.
The bronze statue depicts Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg standing on a concrete pedestal covered with granite slabs at the eastern gate of Minden.
The memorial marks the 250th anniversary of Minden's incorporation into Prussia, following the Peace of Westphalia agreement of 1648.
The monument features an inscription reading 'Gedenke dass du ein Deutscher bist' originating from a 1658 Brandenburg pamphlet about German territories.
The statue stands on a 1.5-meter concrete base and faces south, with wheelchair accessibility for visitors to examine the historical landmark.
A nearly identical copy of this statue existed at the Marine Academy in Kiel until its destruction during World War II.
