Description [EN]
Leipzig’s most famous landmark is located close to Napoleon’s former command post in the centre of the battlefield of the Battle of the Nations in 1813. The monument (which was constructed from concrete and granite porphyry and inaugurated in 1913) is a towering 91 metres high. Its viewing platform provides a stunning panoramic view of Leipzig and its surroundings.
The highlights of a visit to the Monument can include concert events – distinguished by the highly favourable acoustic conditions of the monumental cupola.
The FORUM 1813 museum, which is located at the base of the Monument, provides information on the Battle of the Nations. At the museum, a large number of rare weapons, uniforms, pieces of equipment and personal mementos provide insights into those tragic days of war.
