The monument to the German soldiers who died of their wounds during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871.

Inaugurated on November 9, 1879. This monument was erected in memory of the hospitality and the devoted concerns of the Belgian nation, and especially the people of Brussels, to hurt Germans.

Blue stone pedestal designed by architects Bluntschli and Mylins de Frankfort, serving as a support for a kneeling angel. The Prussian Emperor, the Queen Mother of Bavaria and other German monarchs, as well as in Germans who live in Belgium have donated donations for the creation of this monument.

The remains of 23 bodies from former cemeteries of Brussels, Leuven and Namur rest around this plinth.
