Blinkerdenkmal, War memorial on Landgrafen Mountain in Jena, Germany
The Blinkerdenkmal consists of a limestone cube with commemorative inscriptions, surrounded by a semicircular wall that functions as a bench.
The monument was inaugurated on May 29, 1921 to commemorate German signal troops who fell during World War I, using Zeiss optical equipment for communications.
German signal troops trained at this location developed military communication methods through light signals, contributing to technological advancements in optical signaling.
Visitors can reach the monument through hiking paths on Landgrafen Mountain, where informational panels explain the historical significance of signal troops.
The monument underwent changes after 1945, with military symbols removed, and received a complete restoration in 2021 for its 100th anniversary.
