    An imposing landmark of our city. It gets tight on the ascent, then there is a magnificent view over Leipzig.

      Not far from Napoleon's former command post, Leipzig's most famous landmark rises in the middle of the battlefield of the 1813 Battle of the Nations. Constructed of concrete and granite porphyry and inaugurated in 1913, the monument stands 91 meters high. The observation deck offers a magnificent panoramic view of Leipzig and its surroundings. Built according to designs by Bruno Schmitz, the gigantic monument impresses with its knight-decorated crypt, its almost ten-meter-high colossal figures, and its 68-meter-high equestrian dome. The special acoustics of the monumental domed hall make concerts an unforgettable experience. A visit offers a wide range of impressions. At the foot of the monument, the Museum FORUM 1813 provides information about the Battle of the Nations.

        Craftsmanship at its finest, that would probably no longer be possible today.
        Cheers to the ancestors 👌
        And a must in Leipzig
