Gaze upward at the towering Monument of the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) and contemplate the many wars that have been fought in Europe. The mausoleum-like structure is 300-feet (91-metres) high and commemorates the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig. The adjoining park is a peaceful place to walk and reflect. Stand where Napoleon surrendered during the Battle of Leipzig in 1813\. This spot is now the site of the monument, which was built 100 years after the battle. Over 600,000 troops from two European coalitions fought in one of the biggest battles ever seen on the continent before World War I. The monument was intended as a form of commemoration, but following its construction different organizations have used it as symbols of their own political message. Remember all the wars that have been fought in Germany beneath the monument. Wander around the exterior to take in all the artistic details. A statue of the archangel Michael stands guard at the base. The great size of the structure was intended to symbolise the immensity of the conflict. Take a guided tour of the monument to learn more about its history. Step inside the temple to see further artworks representing death and freedom. On the ground floor, eight fallen soldiers are carved out of stone. Find the “Totenwächter,” sculptures who guard the dead. On the next floor, four statues represent qualities, such as bravery and faith, that were associated with German people. Each of these statues are over 30 feet (9 metres) tall. Look up to see a dome encircled by mounted soldiers. Climb the stairs to the top of the monument for panoramic views of Leipzig. Learn more about the battle commemorated here in the Forum 1813 museum, which is below the monument. Paintings, dioramas and informative displays shed light on the bloody conflict and its historical context. The Monument to the Battle of the Nations is open daily throughout the year. Ride a tram from Leipzig Central Station or drive here and leave the car at the monument’s on-site parking area. ## Plan a trip to see Monument of the Battle of the Nations Price found within the past 48 hours.

(126 reviews) The receptionist was not at all welcoming and simply asked for our names, handed us a key, and told us how to get to the room. The receptionist who handled check out was not very friendly either. The room was large, had a nice view from the window and generally the facilities were OK. The chairs in the room were extremely uncomfortable, unstable, and need replaced. The noise insulation between rooms is non-existent. We could hear music being played next door and even the conversation of the other guests. I would not stay here again Reviewed on 19 Apr 2025 ### Popular places to visit ![Grassi Museum featuring a garden](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6189767/f3a5b3d9-3a8d-461a-b84c-37e96e74559b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Grassi Museum Surround yourself with different facets of culture and history in a complex that houses three different museums dedicated to music, art and anthropology.
