Denkmal für die Gefallenen des Feldzugs von 1866, War memorial in Koblenz, Germany.

The monument comprises a tuff stone obelisk situated on a cube-shaped pedestal with three inscription plates listing 489 soldiers from different regiments.

The memorial, approved by cabinet order in 1867, honors Prussian soldiers who fell during the German War of 1866, particularly at Langensalza and Königgrätz.

Officers of the Prussian VIII Army Corps commissioned sculptor Christian Mohr from Cologne to design this memorial, which was erected in the Engineers Garden.

Located on Glockenberg in the Asterstein district, the memorial offers direct views of Clemens Square, the Electoral Palace, and the Rhine riverbank.

The memorial displays an oak wreath with the year 1866 on its Rhine-facing side and receives nightly illumination since 2019 as part of Fort Asterstein.
