Obelisk in Rheinsberg, Memorial obelisk in Rheinsberg, Germany
The stone obelisk stands on a hill near Grienericksee lake, opposite to Rheinsberg Palace, featuring inscribed memorial plates on each side.
Prince Henry of Prussia constructed this monument in the early 1790s to honor his brother August Wilhelm and 28 officers from the Seven Years' War.
Each officer received a dedicated memorial plate with personally written inscriptions by Prince Henry, documenting their military achievements and contributions.
Visitors can reach the obelisk through multiple marked hiking paths, including the 4.87-kilometer Schloss Rheinsberg loop with minimal elevation changes.
The monument contains French inscriptions and a relief portrait of Prince August Wilhelm, emphasizing the strong French influence on Prussian aristocracy.
