    The monument instrumentalized the composer Friedrich Silcher and his song settings for propaganda purposes of the Nazi regime. Scenes from the song settings "Who wants to be among the soldiers?" and "The good comrade" can be seen around the depiction of Friedrich Silcher. The gigantic, 5.70 meter high sculpture is accompanied by a border and a stage structure. The National Socialists also wanted to use it to create a parade ground.
