The Moltke Monument: a tribute to a Prussian general
In the middle of the imposing ensemble around the Victory Column and right next to the Roon Monument stands the impressive Moltke Monument, created by sculptor Joseph Uphues in 1904 in the neo-baroque style.

<h4>The sculpture and its details</h4>

The monument is made of Lasa marble and depicts the Prussian General Helmuth Graf von Moltke in period uniform. He is leaning against a balustrade, his head is covered by a general's cap and his gaze is resolutely directed forward. Around his neck he wears the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, an award for his services to the unification of Germany. A highly symbolic gesture: his left hand lies over his right, expressing steadfastness and determination.

<h4>The pedestal and the inscription</h4>

The pedestal, also made of Lasa marble, bears the gilded inscription "MOLTKE" and features Art Nouveau elements. The overall height of the statue is an impressive 11 meters and is considered a masterpiece of the Berlin school of sculpture.

<h4>Historical significance and changes</h4>

The Moltke monument originally stood on the western edge of Königsplatz until it was removed in 1938 as part of the redesign of Berlin under Albert Speer and moved to its current location on Großer Stern in 1939. The base was removed and the plinth shortened to make room for an open decorative wall.

<h4>A monument full of meaning</h4>

The Moltke Monument is not only an impressive work of art, but also a symbol of Prussia's history and military achievements. It commemorates the achievements of an important general and allows visitors to immerse themselves in the history of the Prussian army and the turmoil of the 19th century.

<h3>Das Moltke-Denkmal: Eine Hommage an einen preußischen General</h3>

Inmitten des imposanten Ensembles rund um die Siegessäule und direkt neben dem Roon-Denkmal erhebt sich das eindrucksvolle Moltke-Denkmal, geschaffen von Bildhauer Joseph Uphues im Jahr 1904 im Neobarock-Stil.

<h4>Die Skulptur und ihre Details</h4>

Das Denkmal besteht aus Laaser Marmor und zeigt den preußischen General Helmuth Graf von Moltke in zeitgenössischer Uniform. Er lehnt an einer Balustrade, sein Kopf ist von einer Generalsmütze bedeckt, und sein Blick ist entschlossen nach vorne gerichtet. Um seinen Hals trägt er das Großkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes, eine Auszeichnung für seine Verdienste um die Einigung Deutschlands. Eine symbolträchtige Geste: Seine linke Hand liegt über seiner rechten, was Standhaftigkeit und Entschlossenheit ausdrückt.

<h4>Der Sockel und die Inschrift</h4>

Der Sockel, ebenfalls aus Laaser Marmor gefertigt, trägt die vergoldete Inschrift "MOLTKE" und weist Jugendstil-Elemente auf. Die Gesamthöhe des Standbilds beträgt imposante 11 Meter und gilt als Meisterwerk der Berliner Bildhauerschule.

<h4>Geschichtliche Bedeutung und Veränderungen</h4>

Ursprünglich stand das Moltke-Denkmal am Westrand des Königsplatzes, bis es 1938 im Zuge der Umgestaltung Berlins unter Albert Speer entfernt und 1939 an seinen heutigen Standort am Großen Stern versetzt wurde. Dabei wurde der Unterbau entfernt und der Sockel verkürzt, um Platz für eine offene Ziermauer zu schaffen.

<h4>Ein Denkmal voller Bedeutung</h4>

Das Moltke-Denkmal ist nicht nur ein eindrucksvolles Kunstwerk, sondern auch ein Symbol für die Geschichte und die militärischen Errungenschaften Preußens. Es erinnert an die Verdienste eines bedeutenden Generals und lässt Besucherinnen und Besucher eintauchen in die Geschichte der preußischen Armee und die Wirren des 19. Jahrhunderts.
