Roland Statue Perleberg

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

In 1498 a statue of Roland was first mentioned. It is very likely a predecessor of the current 5.4 m high sandstone figure from the 16th century. The statue bears the year 1546 in two places. Future research is reserved as to which municipal rights and freedoms the Perleberger Roland symbolizes. Although marked by the years and restored in the meantime, the Roland survived the eventful history of the city and still looks hard at its citizens and visitors today.
