Guided Story
Imagine the sound of hooves softly clattering on cobblestones. Look up, and you'll see the rider poised on his steed, noble and ever vigilant. This monument doesn't just honor the soldiers of the 7th Uhlan Regiment but also harks back to a time when cavalry units were pivotal in warfare. Behind you, towards the Staden park, you can almost sense the echoes of those days when such regiments rode the streets. Erected in 1913, just a year before World War I began, this statue stands as a quiet testament to human history, a reminder of the fine line between peace and conflict. Take a moment to appreciate the artistic design of the memorial and reflect on the changes the last century has brought.
