The Bad Windsheim Roland is a war memorial in Bad Windsheim, on the market square near Kilian's Church.
The war memorial for the fallen soldiers of the Franco-Prussian War 1870/71 and the First World War, inaugurated on September 16, 1928, shows the pillar figure of a knight reminiscent of a statue of Roland. Strictly speaking, the term “Roland” is misleading because it refers to a statue of a knight in armor and with a bare sword, as they were erected in the Middle Ages as a symbol for certain city rights. Instead, the Bad Windsheim sculpture is reminiscent of war dead and is still relatively young.

The war memorial, erected by the city of Windsheim in 1928, is quite impressive with its so-called Roland figure.
