    The Great Elector Monument was built between 1736 and 1738 to commemorate the successful battle of Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg against the Swedes.
    It shows the Great Elector in the costume of a Roman emperor on a pedestal to which allegories and battle reliefs are attached.
    The Schleusenplatz - the location of the monument - was once used as a parade ground by the stationed military.
