Memorial of Friedrich Wilhelm von Bülow, Marble monument in Mitte, Germany

The Memorial of Friedrich Wilhelm von Bülow features a 2.67-meter-tall statue showing the general leaning against a tree stump with a saber in hand.

Created by Christian Daniel Rauch between 1819 and 1822, the memorial marks the location near Neue Wache where it was first installed on June 22, 1822.

The pedestal contains detailed reliefs depicting military victories, including an eagle and the goddess of victory, representing Prussian military achievements.

The Berlin Senate plans to replace the original marble sculptures with exact copies to protect them from weather damage while maintaining their historical presence.

In 1951, authorities relocated both the Bülow and Scharnhorst monuments from their initial positions, but the Bülow Memorial returned to its spot in 2002.
