Victory Gate

Designed by the architect Friedrich von Gärtner in the neoclassical style, this monument was constructed between 1843 and 1850. The structure was inspired by the Arch of Constantine in Rome and originally served as a dedication to the Bavarian army. It is crowned by a large statue of Bavaria with a lion-quadriga.

Following the heavy damage sustained during World War II, the arch was rebuilt and transformed into a memorial for peace. A significant inscription was added to the structure: "Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, reminding of peace."

The arch stands 24 meters high and is constructed from limestone. It features three arched portals, is wheelchair accessible, and remains open to the public as a significant example of 19th-century architectural and cultural heritage.
