    Directly at the Rudelsburg

      In honor of the corps students who died in the Franco-German War, the KSCV had the monument erected. Completed in just two months, it was the first specifically student memorial for the war of 1870/71. It was consecrated at the Kösener Congress in 1872.

      Its original 14.5 m high structure was symbolic: the four corners of the platform represented the German kingdoms, the 24 balusters the federal states. The pedestal showed inscriptions on marble slabs on all sides with the dedication and the names of the 138 (or 234) fallen.

      In the GDR, the victory column on top was destroyed in 1953. The base is preserved.
