The Victory Column (Siegessäule) was constructed to celebrate the military successes of Prussia over Denmark. In 1938 Hitler moved it from its place in front of the Reichstag to the centre of Tiergarten where it stands today.
The Victory Column is 61.5m high and stands in the centre of the Tiergarten. The statue on the top is of the victory goddess Viktoria. She also stands on top of the Brandenburg Gate.
