The Brandenburg Roland is a symbol and stood as a sign of the medieval legal system. The 5.35 m high Roland, made of sandstone in 1474 in the manner of a youth, is one of the most beautiful figures of its kind in northern Germany.

The statue of Roland with his plate armour is striking, his right hand holding a sword vertically in the air, his left hand holding a dagger, and a tuft of thunderbeard in a hollow on his head. According to legend, the plant is supposed to protect Roland from lightning.

Because it hindered soldiers during drills on the square, it was placed in front of the New Town Hall in 1716 with the permission of the Soldier King Frederick William I. Dismantled and stored in 1941 to protect against Allied bombings, the Roland survived the destruction of the New Town Hall in 1945 unscathed. It has now found its new location in front of the Old Town Hall.

This Roland is an imposing figure. It is a symbol of the city's former importance.
