    Old Swede how beautiful. One of the few monuments of the 30 Years War.

    It commemorates the siege of the Swedish troops in the Thirty Years' War. Inaugurated in 1844 as a "monument of citizen loyalty". Not far from the monument, a reminder of the city wall with a golden plaque commemorates this event.
    Translated by
    During the siege of the city in the 30 Years' War by Swedish troops under their commander-in-chief Torstensson, the enemy's main attacks were directed against St. Peter's Gate. It was destroyed and partially occupied by the enemy.

    The Sweden Monument, a design by Professor Eduard Heuchler, commemorates these tribulations of the 30 Years' War. The monument, erected in 1843/44, illustrates the most important phases of the siege on its six sides.
