Barbara-Denkmal, Military memorial at Friedrich-Ebert-Ring, Koblenz, Germany
The Barbara-Denkmal features a central figure of Saint Barbara holding a gun barrel and palm branch, flanked by two allegorical figures representing War and Peace.
The monument, inaugurated in 1907, honors fallen soldiers of the 8th Rhine Field Artillery Regiment, which served in Koblenz from 1820 to 1887.
The memorial combines military history with religious symbolism through Saint Barbara, the patron saint of artillerymen, represented in detailed stone sculptures.
The monument stands near Christuskirche after its 2015 reconstruction, following restoration efforts that began with the discovery of original parts in 1982.
The structure functions as both a memorial and a fountain, with water features restored in 2021 using Walldürn shell limestone as the primary construction material.
