Tips
The cast-iron memorial designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel for the fallen of the battle is one of seven similar ones at the battle sites of 1813 and 1815. The inscription reads “The fallen heroes gratefully honor king and fatherland. You rest in peace. Großgörschen, May 2, 1813”. The dilapidated original stood on the monarch's hill near Großgörschen, where now only the base with an inscription is left. The current replica was erected in 1985 near the Scharnhorst memorial.
