Wingolfdenkmal, Memorial monument in Eisenach, Germany

The Wingolfdenkmal stands at the southern end of Pfarrberg in Eisenach, featuring a stone wall with stairs connecting Pfarrberg and Domstrasse streets.

The memorial was initially constructed in 1899 to honor fallen members of the Wingolf Federation during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871.

The monument serves as a central gathering point for members of the Wingolf Federation, Germany's oldest Christian student association network.

A complete renovation of the monument and its stairway system was completed in 2003, funded through donations totaling 540,000 euros.

The original bronze genius figure was replaced in 1932 with a stone cross plate, displaying dates commemorating losses from three major conflicts.
