Berlin Victory Column
The Victory Column (, from ''Sieg'' ‘victory’ + ''Säule'' ‘column’) is a monument in Berlin, Germany. Designed by Heinrich Strack, after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Danish-Prussian War, by the time it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873, Prussia had also defeated Austria in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), giving the statue a new purpose. Different from the original plans, these later victories in the so-called unification wars inspired the addition of the bronze sculpture of Victoria, 8.3 metres high and weighing 35 tonnes, designed by Friedrich Drake. Berliners have given the statue the nickname ''Goldelse'', meaning something like "Golden Lizzy".〔(Berlin Tourist Information - Tiergarten ) 〕
The Victory Column is a major tourist attraction in the city of Berlin. Its viewing platform offers a view over Berlin after buying a ticket.
