Memorial Gerhard von Scharnhorst
Memorial Gerhard von Scharnhorst, Military memorial in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
The marble monument features a 5.73-meter statue depicting General Gerhard von Scharnhorst, positioned along Unter den Linden avenue opposite the Neue Wache.
Christian Daniel Rauch created this neoclassical memorial between 1819 and 1822 to honor the Prussian military reformer who died in 1813.
The memorial stands as a representation of early 19th-century Berlin sculpture school, displaying precise craftsmanship and military ceremonial elements.
The original marble statue was removed in 2021 for preservation purposes, with plans to install a replica in its place.
The monument bears the inscription 'FRIEDRICH WILHELM III DEM GEN. VON SCHARNHORST IM IAHRE 1822' marking its dedication by the Prussian king.
