Monumental, steeped in history and impossible to miss: in this episode of ’Welcome to Leipzig’, Klara and Axel head up one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Together with Dr Crawford Matthews, curator of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, they delve into the momentous events of 1813 in Leipzig and explore the eventful history of this monument, which still commemorates a war that proved decisive for all of Europe. Which virtues were considered desirable in 1813? How were they reinterpreted and instrumentalised in the eras that followed? What values does the monument represent for us today, and how can we experience the ’Völki’ anew? And just how many steps does the Battle of the Nations Monument actually have? Join us to find out in this episode!
This podcast episode is co-financed from tax revenues on the basis of the budget agreed by the Members of the State Parliament of Saxony.
