ブランディスの湖・トップ20

In front of the memorial there is a 162 by 79 meter large pool of water, which was renamed "Lake of Tears for the Fallen Soldiers" by the National Socialists in 1938. It is meant to symbolize the tears of the people mourning those who died in the battle. This name is still used in Leipzig's vernacular.

Even when frozen, the Lake of Tears is very impressive and beautiful to look at with the Battle of the Nations Monument in the background 🤗.

It was built between 1897 and 1913 and inaugurated on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig. In 2013, the 200th anniversary was celebrated with great celebrations. Extensive reconstruction work was carried out in advance. In contrast to the serious background, a well-known, much-attended bathtub race was held for more than 20 years on the Lake of Tears in front of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations.
