Marceau-Denkmal, Memorial monument in Lützel district, Koblenz, Germany.

The Marceau Monument stands as a truncated pyramid made of Mendiger basalt lava on a four-tiered pedestal with a crouching lion relief in a niche.

French General François Séverin Marceau, who captured Koblenz in 1794, died in 1796 and received military honors at this burial site on Petersberg.

The monument features inscriptions on its sides narrating General Marceau's life and accomplishments, reflecting French-German historical connections.

Located at Am Franzosenfriedhof in Koblenz-Lützel, the monument remains under French authority and received its latest restoration in 2013/2014.

The monument sits within a French military cemetery established during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 for deceased prisoners of war.
