Neunerdenkmal, War memorial in Itzehoe, Germany.

The Neunerdenkmal stands on Kirchenstraße in Itzehoe, in front of the Propstenhaus. It was erected in 1925 to commemorate the 378 soldiers of Field Artillery Regiment No. 9 who fell in the First World War. The stonework was executed by the firm F. Kolbe after a design by the Berlin sculptor Hans Jenkel. Its base bears an inscription naming the fallen of the regiment and its wartime formations of 1914–1918.

The memorial was designed by Hans Jenkel in 1925 and reflects commemoration practices that followed World War I. It was created during a period when Germany erected many such monuments to honor fallen soldiers.

The monument was financed by donations from Itzehoe residents, and its stonework was cut by the firm F. Kolbe to a design by the Berlin sculptor Hans Jenkel; it was unveiled on 2 August 1925. The flanking memorial stones for Alfred von Waldersee, regimental commander from 1896 to 1904, and Werner von Fritsch were added later.

The memorial is located in a publicly accessible area of Itzehoe and can be visited at any time. It serves well as a stop for school groups interested in exploring local history and understanding the impact of war.

The two flanking memorial stones were added after the 1925 unveiling. They commemorate Alfred von Waldersee, regimental commander from 1896 to 1904, and Werner von Fritsch, after whom the Freiherr-von-Fritsch-Kaserne in Breitenburg was named in 1964.
