Horst Wessel monument in Lower Saxony

The monument stands near former quarries at 370 meters above sea level, creating a visual connection spanning 12 kilometers toward the Bückeberg region.

Construction of the memorial began in 1933 and finished in 1938, during a period when similar structures appeared across Germany to promote political ideologies.

The structure represents architectural elements from the 1930s, reflecting the design principles and construction methods prevalent in German monuments of that era.

Located 700 meters north of Hameln's Welliehausen district, visitors can access the site through local roads that connect to the main pathways.

The monument established a direct line of sight to the location where the Reich Harvest Thanksgiving Festival took place between 1933 and 1937.
