@jvv1.11: This is the Siegessäule, also known in English as the Berlin Victory Column. It is one of Berlin’s most famous landmarks and stands in the middle of the Großer Stern (Great Star) roundabout in the Tiergarten. Some interesting facts: * It was inaugurated in 1873 to commemorate Prussia’s victories in the wars against Denmark (1864), Austria (1866), and France (1870–71). * The golden statue on top is Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory. Berliners affectionately call her “Goldelse” (“Golden Lizzie”). * The column is about 67 meters (220 feet) tall. * Visitors can climb 285 steps to an observation platform with panoramic views over Berlin. #siegessäule #berlin #germany #deutschland
