Pomnik nachodzki w Poznaniu, Military memorial monument in Old Town, Poznań, Poland
The monument featured a bronze lion with an open mouth positioned atop a pedestal, resting its front paws on a captured Austrian cannon.
Inaugurated in 1870, the memorial commemorated Prussian soldiers who died during the Battle of Nachod in 1866, marking Prussia's victory in the Austro-Prussian War.
The monument represented the first Prussian memorial in Poznań, reflecting the city's connection to the Kingdom of Prussia following the 1793 territorial changes.
The memorial stood at Wilhelmsplatz, now known as Plac Wolności, in front of the City Theatre until its removal during the night of April 3, 1919.
Four sculptured soldiers representing commanding generals flanked the memorial's inscribed plaques, which listed names of fallen officers from the Prussian V Army Corps.
