The impetus for the establishment of a monument to the eleven Schill officers gave Major Karl Emil von Webern (1790 - 1878), since 1831 commander of the fusilier battalion of the 17th Infantry Regiment in Wesel, and the captain of the artillery a. D. and Rendant of the main tax office in Wesel, Jacob Pahlke. In 1833 they opened for this purpose a collection within the Prussian army.
The monument was designed according to plans by Karl Friedrich Schinkel of August Kiss in Berlin cast iron and placed at the execution and burial place of the Schiller officers in the Lippewiesen. It is a simple, classicistic, based on ancient models Memorial. The monument shows on the city side the mourning Borussia and the oncoming victory goddess at the altar of the Fatherland. On the altar, adorned with the Prussian eagle, lies the straightening ax, over which Victoria holds a wreath and thus transforms the martyr's death into a victory. Underneath you can read the names of the eleven officers. On the side facing away from the city, the Prussian eagle towers over eleven stars and the saying: "They died as Prussians and heroes on 16 September 1809"
