Europadenkmal, Border monument in Bobenthal, Germany.
The Europadenkmal consists of twelve stone steles arranged in a circle around a fire roundel near the French-German border in Bobenthal.
In 1950, hundreds of students from nine European nations gathered at this location to peacefully remove border barriers and call for European unity.
The monument includes three flagpoles displaying the German, French, and European flags, representing the connection between these nations at the border.
Visitors can access the monument at any time and read information about European integration on trilingual information panels near the site.
The circular arrangement of sandstone steles surrounds a four-part fire roundel where the European fire burned during the 1950 student demonstration.
