Since December 21, 2018, Gera has been part of the international "Flame of Peace" initiative, originally launched in Vienna in 2008 by Herta Margarete Habsburg-Lothringen. The monument stands at the Prince's Houses on the way to Hofwiesenpark
and is a symbol of peace, friendship, and international understanding.

The Flame of Peace is now represented in over 85 countries.

There are three such flames in Central Germany – in Köthen, Saalfeld, and Gera.

The Gera monument was created by the wood artist Marcus Malik from Steinbrücken
and donated by Heinrich XIII, Prince Reuss – on the occasion of the 100th birthday of
Woizlawa-Feodora Princess Reuss. It is dedicated to all citizens of the city
and is intended to serve as a reminder of peace.
