Prussia Columns, Historic monuments in Putbus, Germany
The Prussia Columns consist of two stone monuments measuring over 15 meters in height, situated on the southeast coast of Rügen Island.
King Frederick William IV ordered the construction of these columns in 1854 and 1855 to commemorate military landings during the Swedish-Brandenburg War.
The monuments incorporate stone from the Great Rock near Nardevitz, featuring designs by architect Friedrich August Stüler and sculptures by Wilhelm Stürmer.
The columns underwent dismantling in 1991 due to structural concerns, with parts transported to Berlin workshops for preservation and restoration efforts.
The construction dates of the two columns differ by exactly one year, with the second column inaugurated on Frederick William IV's 60th birthday.
