An interesting building. The inscriptions were written by Prince Henry personally in French, in honor of his brother August Wilhelm of Prussia and 28 participants in the Seven Years' War.

The Obelisk stands on a hill on the Grienericksee opposite the Rheinsberg Palace within the huge park. Heinrich von Preußen erected it in the early 1790s in honor of his brother August Wilhelm of Prussia.
