Jubiläumssäule, Memorial column at Schlossplatz, Stuttgart, Germany
The Jubiläumssäule is a granite memorial that rises at the center of Schlossplatz. A large bronze statue of the goddess Concordia crowns the structure, surrounded by four relief panels at its base depicting historical scenes.
The monument was built between 1841 and 1846 to commemorate a significant royal milestone. Its construction coincided with Stuttgart's period of urban modernization when new public monuments were being established throughout the city.
The column serves as a landmark that connects Stuttgart's past with its present-day life. Its central location makes it a natural meeting point where locals and visitors naturally gather throughout the day.
The monument sits directly on Schlossplatz, a central square accessible by public transportation. Visitors can view the memorial freely, and the surrounding area offers cafés, shops, and other amenities within easy reach.
The bronze statue at the top holds a palm branch in one hand and a laurel wreath in the other, symbolizing peace and victory. These details are often difficult to see from ground level and are overlooked by many visitors.
