Yorck-Denkmal, War memorial in Mittelhufen district, Königsberg, East Prussia.
The Yorck Monument featured a bronze statue of Field Marshal Ludwig Yorck von Wartenburg standing upright in military uniform with a sword.
The monument was unveiled in 1914 by Crown Prince Wilhelm and Oberpräsident Ludwig von Windheim to mark the centenary of the Wars of Liberation.
The monument represented Prussian military values and commemorated General Yorck's address to East Prussian estates during the Napoleonic Wars.
The monument stood at Walter-Simon-Platz until 1947, when Soviet authorities removed it and replaced the statue with different political figures.
The original pedestal received three different busts after 1947: first Joseph Stalin, then a standard Karl Marx, and finally an artistic Marx by Boris Jedunow.
