Hallescher Roland, Medieval justice statue in Market Square, Halle, Germany
The stone Roland statue stands at a height of four meters on the east side of the Red Tower in Halle's marketplace.
Created in 1245, the statue underwent multiple relocations and restorations, including a complete reconstruction in stone by Johann George Bürger in 1719.
The statue represents civic freedom through its nobleman attire and pilgrim appearance, differing from typical Roland statues that display armor and weapons.
The statue remains accessible to visitors throughout the year, with information panels explaining its historical importance to the city of Halle.
During World War II, the statue received protection inside a specially constructed brick tower to prevent damage from air raids and artillery.
