König-Albert-Denkmal, Stone monument on Windberg hill, Freital, Germany
The König-Albert-Denkmal stands as a 17-meter sandstone obelisk overlooking the Weißeritz Valley and the city of Freital from its position at 350 meters elevation.
The monument was constructed between 1903 and 1904 to honor King Albert of Saxony following his support during the devastating floods of 1897.
The equestrian relief on the monument's face represents King Albert of Saxony, while the reverse side displays a bronze plaque with inscriptions recognizing the monarch.
Visitors can access the monument through a path starting from the former Windbergschacht mining house, leading eastward to the observation point with benches.
The equestrian relief underwent extensive restoration in 2021, requiring three desalination cycles and partial stone reinforcement to return to its original condition.
