Kriegerdenkmal Trotha, War memorial in Trotha district, Halle, Germany.

Kriegerdenkmal Trotha is a red sandstone obelisk mounted on a cubic base at Denkmalsplatz in the Trotha neighborhood. The structure was built as a memorial to fallen residents and defines the character of this public square in the district.

The memorial was erected to honor 91 citizens from Trotha who participated in the German War of 1866 and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. These two conflicts shaped a generation and prompted the creation of this memorial in the community.

The inscriptions display biblical passages and dedications to fallen soldiers, with names recorded on different sides of the monument. These writings show how the community expressed grief and respect for those who died.

The monument stands on a public square directly adjacent to St. Briccius Church, making it easy to locate and access. The site is accessible on foot and located in a well-visited part of the Trotha neighborhood.

The square itself was named after the memorial and has been called Denkmalsplatz since then, showing how deeply this monument influenced local identity. This naming connection makes it a geographic and cultural reference point for the neighborhood.
