Fahnenmonument in Halle

The Fahnenmonument reaches 20 meters into the sky with its concrete structure shaped to represent a fluttering flag in motion.

The monument was constructed in 1967 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Russian October Revolution and became a central point for democratic gatherings.

The concrete memorial stands as a testament to the architectural and political movements of East Germany during the 1960s socialist period.

The monument location offers wheelchair access and connects to neighboring green spaces that were formerly part of the city fortifications.

Originally painted red, the thin concrete plate creates an optical effect that makes solid concrete appear as flowing fabric in the wind.
