Kriegerdenkmal 1870/71, War memorial in Spremberg, Germany
The Kriegerdenkmal 1870/71 consists of a gray Silesian marble obelisk with a height of 7 meters, featuring a base, name cube, and pyramid topped by an eagle.
The memorial contains 172 engraved names of soldiers from the 6th Brandenburg Infantry Regiment Number 52 who perished during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.
The monument inauguration in 1872 included a funeral procession with bell ringing and mourning music, reflecting German commemoration traditions of the late 19th century.
The memorial stands in central Spremberg following its 2021 relocation, with an information plaque detailing its history and significance for visitors.
After being demolished in 1946 under Allied Control Council directives, parts of the memorial were rediscovered through excavations in 2018 and reconstructed at a new location.
