    This monument is dedicated to the soldiers of the 3rd German Army who fell on August 4, 1870. The stele itself bears bronze plaques on which appear the effigies of Prince Frederick William, Commander-in-Chief, as well as those of Generals von Hartmann, von Kirchbach and von Bose.
    Nearby is the memorial of the 58th regiment of the 5th Prussian corps which brings together two monuments dedicated to Major Groenefeld, officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers who fell during the battle of August 4, 1870.
