Probably the most famous monument in Leipzig commemorates the decisive battle in October 1813 against Napoleon in the autumn of 1813, which was fought in the fields around Leipzig.
With around half a million soldiers and more than 110.000 casualties, the event became the largest battle of the 19th century.
The building was inaugurated on October 18, 1913 in the middle of the former battlefield in memory of the soldiers who lost their lives in the battle. The monument is not only impressive because of its appearance, but also because of the viewing platform that opens up after 364 steps and offers a phenomenal panoramic view of Leipzig and the surrounding area at a height of 91 meters. Passenger elevators take you up to the upper outer walkway at a height of 58 meters.
In addition, guided tours, choir concerts, open-air events, museum educational offers and special exhibitions take place here all year round. The FORUM 1813 museum, which is integrated into the monument complex, also offers spectacular insights into the events of the Wars of Liberation and the Battle of the Nations.
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations is also an impressive destination for families. Even small children as young as three years old can climb the Monument to the Battle of the Nations. The Monument to the Battle of the Nations Foundation also organizes regular events for children. Guided tours for schoolchildren can also be booked. The Monument to the Battle of the Nations has audio guides in several languages available for visitors of all ages.
For the very little ones and their parents, there are changing tables in both the barrier-free toilet and the ladies' toilet.
