Revolutionsdenkmal, Memorial monument in Friedrichsfelde, Germany.

The Revolutionsdenkmal in Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde is a cubic structure made of clinker bricks with rectangular blocks and distinctive geometric form. The work consists of interlocking elements that display a clearly recognizable modern formal language.

The monument was built in 1926 to commemorate events from 1919 after political turmoil shook the city. The Nazis destroyed the structure later, but it was rebuilt afterward.

The monument bears names of individuals who fought for political change, and its geometric design speaks to the artistic modernism of that era. Visitors can read the symbolic language of the structure in its austere, objective formal vocabulary.

The monument stands on the cemetery grounds in the Lichtenberg district and is surrounded by a cemetery area that is easy to reach on foot. Information plaques on site explain the meaning and history of the place for visitors.

The original featured a special surface design with protruding and recessed cubes that created visual movement through light and shadow. This subtle detailing made the structure an interesting example of modern formal language.
