The city of Friesack decided in 1894 to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the first Brandenburg elector at the historic site. The burgrave of Nuremberg from the Hohenzollern family conquered Friesack Castle in 1414 and drove the Quitzow robber barons out of the country. As a reward for the victory, Frederick I was enfeoffed with the Mark Brandenburg.

Hiking

In the center of the city of Friesack is the approximately 1 hectare "Hohenzollern Park". A monument was erected here in 1894 to the first Elector of Brandenburg, Friedrich I, commemorating the conquest of Friesack Castle and the expulsion of the Quitzow robber barons in 1414. Later the area was designed as a park. The complex, neglected in the post-war period, was renovated by the city in 2012 and "revived" in its original design. This included the paths, places to stay and plantings.

Hiking

The monument of Elector Frederick I of Brandenburg in the historic Hohenzollernpark commemorates the victory of the Burgrave of Nuremberg Frederick VI (the later Elector Frederick I) over the rebellious Quitzow robber knights in 1414. Thus, this place is historically considered a "cradle of Prussia".

The original, almost 9-meter-high monument was inaugurated in 1912 for the 500th anniversary of the Hohenzollerns in the Margraviate of Brandenburg under the patronage of Kaiser Wilhelm II. During World War II, the original bronze statue was dismantled and presumably melted down.
