Leipzig the Monument of the Battle of the Nations

A gigantic monument, visible from afar and surviving the centuries, rises up on the outskirts of the town to commemorate the terrific battle of the Nations near Leipzig the result of which has proved to be of the utmost importance historically, was erected near the battle-field in the period from 1898 to 1913 to the design of Bruno Schmitz.   

At this spot where from October 16th to 19th, 1813, the allied armies fought and bled in a desperate struggle for the independence of their people; here, where the decisive battle of that campaign was fought, which Scharnhornst planned and Gneisenau carried out, a huge landmark — a bold undertaking — of determined resistance against foreign despotism, of a defiant will to a life of freedom.   

Around the dome of the monument which rises 90 meters high are 12 huge figures of warriors. In the interior of the dome symbols of bravery, the joy of sacrifice, the power of faith and national strength speak their own impressive language.  In the crypt, which is in harmony with the solemn dignity of the occasion, sixteen armed men hold silent watch over the dead.
