Monument General Hoche, War memorial in Weißenthurm, Germany.
The monument features an eight-meter obelisk made of basalt lava blocks, standing on a cubic base with bronze decorative elements.
General Lazare Hoche led French troops across the Rhine River from this location in 1797, defeating Austrian forces in the Battle of Neuwied.
The memorial grounds belong to the French Republic since 1798, representing the historical connections between France and Germany through military history.
Visitors can explore the monument's surroundings, which have been transformed into municipal green spaces maintained by the Weißenthurm community since 1978.
The underground burial chamber contains the remains of General Hoche, transferred there in 1919 after the First World War.
