Magdeburger Roland, Roland statue in Old Market Square, Magdeburg, Germany.
The sandstone statue stands 4.8 meters tall, depicting a knight with a drawn sword representing municipal freedom and independence.
The first documented Roland statue in Magdeburg dates to 1419, with the current version installed in 2005 after several previous ones were destroyed.
The statue features a relief of Till Eulenspiegel, a German folklore character, on its back with an inscription marking Roland's death in 778.
The statue stands in front of the city hall and remains accessible to visitors through designated wheelchair paths in the Old Market Square.
Local residents maintain that the city of Magdeburg will maintain its independence as long as the Roland statue remains standing.
