Oberländerdenkmal, Memorial monument in Waakirchen, Germany.

The Oberländerdenkmal is a memorial at the junction of Staatsstraße 2365 and Bundesstraße 472, about five kilometres north of Lake Tegernsee in Waakirchen. On a stone base sits a Bavarian lion looking north toward Sendling, with the so-called Bauernfahne lying in front of it. The copper figure was made by Hygin Kiene, and four reliefs on the base by Munich sculptor Anton Kaindl show scenes from the Sendlinger Mordweihnacht.

The Oberländerdenkmal was inaugurated on 20 August 1905, the 200th anniversary of the Sendlinger Mordweihnacht of December 1705, in the presence of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria. It was erected at the possible birthplace of the uprising's leader, the Schmied von Kochel, a cause promoted by the historian Nepomuk Sepp. Balthasar Mayer, born in Waakirchen on 6 January 1644, is held to be identical with that smith. A necessary restoration followed in 1985.

The name comes from the Bavarian Oberland, the region where the 1705 peasant uprising began. Every year on 24 December, mountain rifle companies (Gebirgsschützenkompanien) hold a Mass at the foot of the monument and commemorate the fallen of the Sendlinger Mordweihnacht.

The monument stands about five kilometres north of Lake Tegernsee, at the junction where Staatsstraße 2365 meets Bundesstraße 472. It is not in Waakirchen's town centre, so approach by road and park near the junction. A restoration carried out in 1985 left the copper lion and the four reliefs on the stone base in place.
