The monument commemorates the most famous son of the city, the Prussian general Neidhardt von Gneisenau, the former reorganizer of the Prussian army.

August Wilhelm Anton Neidhardt, later Neidhardt von Gneisenau, from 1814 Count Neidhardt von Gneisenau (born October 27, 1760 in Schildau, † August 23, 1831 in Posen) was a Prussian field marshal and army reformer. After participating in the American War of Independence in 1783 and defending Kolberg in 1807, he rose to the military leadership and, together with Gerhard David von Scharnhorst, pushed the army reform forward. As Chief of Staff Gebhard Leberecht von Blüchers, he played a major role in the victories over Napoleon in 1813-1815. Gneisenau is one of the most important army reformers of the Wars of Liberation.
