Tips
This monument, erected in 1818, commemorates the deployment of the Prussian troops during the battle of Waterloo. When the Prussians arrived on the battlefield late in the afternoon, this was a decisive factor. On top of the monument is the Iron Cross, introduced in 1813 by King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm III.
