Victoria - Monument on the Waren mill hill
A memorial on the Mühlenberg in Waren commemorates the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. The memorial, which was erected using donations, is dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the Waren training district. The tall, slender plinth is made of fieldstone and bears several inscription plaques. Next to the names is the dedication of the memorial "To the warriors from the Waren military district who remained in the war against France in 1870-71". The "Victory Column" is crowned by "Rauch's Victoria from March's workshop in Charlottenburg". The artificial stone sculpture was produced in series at the time and was also used for other monuments. Visible aisles in the park-like planting of the Mühlenberg made the monument visible from several streets. Its inauguration took place on 15.7.1877. The keynote speech was given by the principal of the grammar school, Carl Holle. He described the monument as "a testimony to our gratitude, a warning call to our grandchildren".
