Built to commemorate the 1864 triumph of Prussia over Denmark. It was originally located in front of the Reichstag on the Königsplatz (now the Platz der Republik).
During the Nazi-era it was moved here by Albert Speer in preparation for the layout of Hitler's rebuilding of Berlin as the new capital city "Germania".
