The Kyffhäuser Monument, also known as the Barbarossa Monument, was built between 1890 and 1896 and, at 81 meters, is one of the largest monuments in Germany. It depicts Emperor Wilhelm I on horseback and, below him, the figure of the sleeping Barbarossa, who, according to legend, rests in the Kyffhäuser mountain. The monumental structure towers prominently above the Goldene Aue (Golden Meadows) and is one of Thuringia's most famous landmarks.
