Siebener Denkmal

The Siebener Denkmal stands in Stuttgart as a historical monument centred on an obelisk designed by sculptor Fritz von Graevenitz. Its form gives the site a clear visual focus. The monument honours soldiers of the Infantry Regiment Kaiser Friedrich, King of Prussia, 7th Württemberg No. 125, who fell during World War I. The monument was officially inaugurated in 1927, marking its place in Stuttgart’s twentieth-century history. The obelisk connects the memorial’s artistic design with the regiment’s wartime history in a single visible structure. Its shape belongs to a long tradition of commemorative monuments. The Siebener Denkmal presents both an artwork by Fritz von Graevenitz and a record of military loss. Stuttgart’s monument offers a specific point for considering how World War I remains represented in the city. The site is recorded as wheelchair accessible. Its name, Siebener Denkmal, links the monument to the regiment’s designation. The obelisk therefore gives this historic spot a distinct form, while its inscription and purpose preserve a connection with soldiers remembered after the war.
