    A great monument to remember better days

      Initially, the monument stood on the market square in Zwönitz, but when it was remodeled, it was moved to the Ziegenberg. It commemorates the founding of the German Empire in 1880/1871 and honors four great men in history: Albert von Wettin (the last King of Saxony); Otto von Bismarck (the first German Chancellor); Wilhelm I (German Emperor & King 👑 of Prussia); Helmuth Graf von Moltke (former Field Marshal).

        There is a rest area in front of the monument. But before that, you have to conquer the Querweg climb. ;-)
