This monument stands in tribute to Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke, or more often simply Moltke the Elder. Moltke was a fine military strategist who is considered to have masterminded Prussian victories over Austria and France in the latter part of the 19th century. This monument is a marble sculpture of Moltke wearing a field marshal uniform with the German Iron Cross around his neck. He is depicted with his hands held together at the front, but oddly leaning back on a balustrade. The statue is realistic if a bit bland and a bit disappointing considering his contributions, not to mention it's prominent location. Only worth taking a look if visiting Tiergarten or the area around Grosser Stern,

Hero of the Prussian then German people. Devised ways for increasingly large armies to be organised, to move, to be fed and to fight. Many of the modern military structures can be traced back to Moltke. Not to be confused with his nephew who was active in WWI. Beautiful statue but the grounds around it need to be tidied.

Beautiful monument by Tim Moltke directly at the Victory Column, impressive

Look like Merkel as a man. If the hands were together in that Merkel way it would be Merkel Man ;-)

The Tim Moltke monument in Berlin's Tiergarten is an impressive work of art that attracts the attention and admiration of all visitors. The memorial consists of a sculpture depicting the German writer and playwright Tim Moltke, who died during World War II. The sculpture is very realistic and detailed and shows Moltke in a thoughtful pose while sitting on a rock. The craftsmanship that went into creating this statue is clearly visible, from the fine lines on the writer's face to the folds of his clothing. Next to the statue is a plaque that summarizes Moltke's life story and highlights his importance as an author and artist. The plaque is informative and helps visitors gain a better understanding of the man the monument honors. The monument itself is located in the middle of a beautiful park and offers a quiet retreat from the busy city. It is a place of respect and remembrance that invites you to pause and reflect on the meaning of art and culture. Overall, the Tim Moltke monument is a fascinating work of art that captivates visitors and teaches them the importance of art and culture. It is a beautiful place to visit and honor what Moltke accomplished as an artist and person. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Berlin.

Interesting monument of famous field marshal of Prussian army. He had also nephew who was commander in WW1.

Visited on 05 Jun 2022, magnificent statue to a great prussian military hero Helmuth von Moltke the elder

A special monument that rightly stands next to the Victory Column.

A remarkable picture from the 1970s! Think about it.

Another monument of a general in the Wars of Unification (like Roon a few meters further). Great location at the Victory Column, perfect for a quick photo - otherwise only for the history enthusiasts among us.

Great statue of Bismarck.

A beautiful statue near the Victory Tower ("Siegesäule"). Moltke was one of the Prussian Generals responsible for the military ascent of Prussia. Worth seeing if you go to the Victory Tower.

A good place to meet these days when major events are taking place.

Marble stature. Bismark monument right next door. Victory Column. Easy to reach with the 100 ter bus line

Helmuth Johann Ludwig, Count von Moltke, born in Gersdorf in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin on May 25, 1848 and died in Berlin on June 18, 1916, was a Prussian general. He served as chief of the Grand General Staff of the German Army from 1906 to 1914, holding command for the first six weeks of World War I before being replaced. Responsible for peacetime planning (the Schlieffen-Moltke plan) then for the deployment of German troops during the mobilization of August 1914, he is often presented as one of those responsible for the German defeat during the First Battle of the Marne in September 1914.

A nice monument and park next to the tiergarten.

Nice

The statue of General Moltke. Should be visited if you are here. Otherwise, no point

Nice and clean Monument

Beautiful monument located directly at the Victory Column - together with the monuments of Roon and Bismarck. You should definitely visit if you have already arrived at the Victory Column anyway.

A great place in Berlin, especially for those interested in history

It's OK 🆗
