Germany. Berlin-Victory Column: The commemorative column is decorated with golden ornaments. In the drum-shaped building formed by the colonnade at the bottom, the surrounding walls are painted with Western story murals. At the top is the statue of the goddess of victory.

The Victory Column is a famous monument in Berlin, Germany. It was built in 1864 to celebrate the victory of Prussia in the Prussian War. When the unveiling ceremony was held on September 2, 1873, Prussia was in the Prussian-Austrian War (1866) and Austria and France were defeated in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), giving the statue a new meaning.
Germany. Berlin-Victory Column: Located at the central turntable of Tiergarten Park in Berlin's Central Park, it was built to celebrate the victory of the Prussian-Denmark campaign. It was made of cannon barrels captured during the war. The original site was on the square opposite the Reichstag, but was later moved by Hitler to its current location.
Located in the center of Berlin, at the center of Tiergarten Park. It was built in 1864 to celebrate Prussia's victory in the war against Denmark. That war opened the door to the north of Prussia and was of great significance to Prussia's transformation into Germany. Above the Romanesque triumphal column, the dazzling golden goddess of victory spread its wings and danced in the wind, symbolizing freedom. The goddess holds a scepter in her left hand and a crown of laurel in her right hand, and lifts it high towards Paris, seeming to be a metaphor for everything.
