It is a memorial to those killed in the Battle of Dennewitz on September 6, 1813 as part of the wars of liberation against Napoleon. In it, Prussian, Russian and Swedish troops of the Northern Army, led by Friedrich Wilhelm von Bülow and Bogislav Friedrich Emanuel von Tauentzien, defeated the French army and the Saxons allied with it under Marshal Michel Ney.
