The Victory Column is designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Danish-Prussian War. The column itself consists of four solid blocks of sandstone, three of which are decorated by cannon barrels captured from the enemies. The fourth ring was added by Hitler after the Battle of France ended. The entire column, including the sculpture, is 66.89 meters tall. Origin: wikipedia
