The text explores the concept of national monuments and their evolution within the context of the German Empire. It begins by defining what constitutes a monument and distinguishes between general monuments and national monuments, tracing their historical development. The discussion then shifts to the political significance of national monuments during the Kaiserreich, examining their role and impact. Subsequent chapters delve into specific monument case studies, including the Berlin Victory Column and various memorials commemorating significant battles and figures. Each monument's historical context, artistic representation, and public reception are analyzed, highlighting the interplay between art and politics. The text also addresses the intentions behind these monuments, detailing the committees involved in their creation, funding processes, and the competitive nature of artistic submissions. It discusses the functions of these monuments, including their political messaging, material choices, and iconography, as well as how they were perceived by artists, the press, and the public. In summary, the work reflects on the transformation from a state-centered to a people-centered national identity as expressed through national monuments in the German Empire, supported by a comprehensive bibliography and indexes for further exploration.
