Ehrenmal auf dem Straßburger Platz, War memorial at Straßburger Platz, Osnabrück, Germany
The memorial features a Corinthian column on a square base with three steps leading to it on three sides, adorned with ancient helmets at corners.
Originally unveiled on August 18, 1880, in Osnabrück's Neumarkt, the memorial commemorates fallen soldiers from the Prussian principality during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871.
Students from Ratsgymnasium Osnabrück designed new sculptural elements for the memorial, winning the Lower Saxony Student Peace Prize in 2006.
The memorial stands in the Westerberg district since 1928, when it was relocated from Neumarkt due to increasing traffic concerns.
The monument's base displays names of battle locations in France and fallen soldiers from various administrative districts including Osnabrück, Fürstenau, Iburg, Gröneburg, Vörden, and Wittlage.
