Emblems of municipal rights, jurisdiction and liberties. According to council records, the Roland was first mentioned in 1498, probably made of wood at that time.
The 5.40 m high sandstone figure dates back to 1546

Council minutes of the town of Perleberg from 1498 contain the earliest reference to the existence of a Roland in the town. It is not identical to the Roland statue that stands today. The Roland from 1498, probably made of wood, has been lost. There is still no clear statement about when exactly the new Perleberg Roland was built from stone.

The Roland in Perleberg is the most combative of his comrades, it seems. He is placed opposite the town hall in the quiet market square, as if he were showing it to the superiors.
