Pamyatnik 1200 gvardeitsam, War memorial in Kaliningrad, Russia
A 26-meter obelisk rises above marble tombstones and bronze busts of Soviet Heroes at the center of an oval-shaped memorial complex.
The memorial was established in September 1945 to honor 1200 soldiers of the 11th Guards Army who died during the capture of Königsberg.
The memorial serves as the main gathering location for military ceremonies, Victory Day celebrations, and remembrance events in Kaliningrad.
The monument stands on Gvardeysky Prospekt, with an eternal flame burning since 1960 and restricted vehicle access for visitor convenience.
This monument became the first Soviet memorial in former East Prussia and initiated the tradition of commemorating World War II soldiers.
