The Victory Column (German: Siegessäule, from Sieg ‘victory’ + Säule ‘column’) is a monument in Berlin, Germany. Designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Second Schleswig War, by the time it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873, Prussia had also defeated Austria and its German allies in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), giving the statue a new purpose. Different from the original plans, these later victories in the unification wars inspired the addition of the bronze sculpture of Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, 8.3 metres (27 ft) high, designed by Friedrich Drake.

Classic POV of the Brandenburger Tor, but it is actually pretty hard to get that view in the evening since there are so many tourists around there at the Pariser Platz. Guess I was lucky? ;) Or maybe it was because of the ND filter I used ? Or both...

ENG: The Victory Column on the Großer Stern in the Großer Tiergarten is one of Germany's most important national monuments and one of Berlin's most important sights. Built between 1864 and 1873 by Heinrich Strack on Königsplatz to commemorate the Wars of Unification, it was moved to its current location between 1938 and 1939 together with the monuments to Bismarck, Roon and Moltke. When it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873, Prussia had also defeated Austria and its German allies in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71), which gave the monument a new purpose. The addition of the 8.3 metre high bronze sculpture of the Roman goddess of victory Victoria, designed by Friedrich Drake, gave the Victory Column its current height of 67 metres. In the Berlin vernacular, she is also known as the "Goldelse".

GER: Die Siegessäule auf dem Großen Stern im Großen Tiergarten gehört zu den bedeutendsten Nationaldenkmälern Deutschlands und den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten Berlins. Erbaut 1864 bis 1873 von Heinrich Strack auf dem Königsplatz zur Erinnerung an die Einigungskriege, wurde sie 1938 bis 1939 zusammen mit den Denkmälern Bismarcks, Roons und Moltkes an den heutigen Standort versetzt. Als sie am 2. September 1873 eingeweiht wurde, hatte Preußen auch Österreich und seine deutschen Verbündeten im Österreichisch-Preußischen Krieg (1866) und Frankreich im Deutsch-Französischen Krieg (1870-71) besiegt, was dem Denkmal einen neuen Zweck gab. Das Hinzufügen der 8,3 m hohen Bronzeskulptur der römischen Siegesgöttin Victoria, die von Friedrich Drake entworfen wurde und der Siegessäule ihre heutige Höhe von 67 m verleiht. Im Berliner Volksmund wird sie auch „Goldelse“ genannt.
La Columna de la Victoria levantada para recordar una victoria prusiana de la que no me acuerdo el nombre. Originalmente estaba en la plaza Real de Berlín (ahora plaza de la República) y era un poco más pequeña. Los nazis y su arquitecto Albert Speer la cambiaron de lugar (1500 metros hacia el oeste) y la hicieron crecer un poco para agrandar su orgullo nacionalista supongo. Pasó el trance de la Segunda Guerra Mundial sin muchos percances y se mantuvo en pie. Parece ser que es de lo poco nazi (aunque no del todo nazi) que quedó derecho. En las columnas y muros del pedestal son visibles agujeros de metralla y disparos.
Completed in 1873 to commemorate Prussia's military victories over Austria, Denmark, and France between 1864 and 1871.
Der Himmel über Berlin
Siegessäule (Victory Column), Großer Stern, Berlin
I was able to resist the heavenly temptation to colour the photo in sepia tones.
"Wings of Desire (German: Der Himmel über Berlin, lit. 'The Heaven/Sky over Berlin' [...] is a 1987 romantic fantasy film directed by Wim Wenders. The film is about invisible, immortal angels who populate Berlin and listen to the thoughts of its human inhabitants, comforting the distressed. Even though the city is densely populated, many of the people are isolated or estranged from their loved ones. One of the angels, played by Bruno Ganz, falls in love with a beautiful, lonely trapeze artist, played by Solveig Dommartin. The angel chooses to become mortal so that he can experience human sensory pleasures, ranging from enjoying food to touching a loved one, and so that he can discover human love with the trapeze artist.
Inspired by art depicting angels visible around West Berlin, at the time encircled by the Berlin Wall, Wenders and author Peter Handke conceived of the story and continued to develop the screenplay throughout the French and German co-production. The film was shot by Henri Alekan in both colour and a sepia-toned black-and-white, the latter being used to represent the world as seen by the angels. The cast includes Otto Sander, Curt Bois and Peter Falk.
For Wings of Desire, Wenders won awards for Best Director at both the Cannes Film Festival and European Film Awards. The film was a critical and financial success, and academics have interpreted it as a statement of the importance of cinema, libraries, the circus, or German unity, containing New Age, religious, secular or other themes.

"[...] In 1864, after the German-Danish War, the Prussian King William I suggested the setting of monuments on the battlefields as well as in Berlin. He entrusted the court building officer Heinrich Strack with the implementation of all projects. [...] Within a few years, two more victorious wars followed, the German War against Austria in 1866 and the Franco-German War in 1870–1871. The three segments of the Victory Column and the crowning bronze sculpture of Victoria were meant to commemorate the victories. The monument was 60.5 meters high.
The Victory Column was inaugurated [...] on September 2, 1873 [...].
In 1938–1939, the column was moved 1.6 kilometers west of Königsplatz to its current location, the Großer Stern, and was [a little hastily (photographer's note)] increased to its current size [of 67 m] by a fourth column drum. [...]" (Translated from German Wikipedia entry)

The Victory Column in Berlin commemorates the Prussian victories in several wars of German unification in the 19th century. The monument with the bronze statue of Victoria on top stands 67 meters tall. I framed the monument between two street lights.

Berliners have given the statue the nickname Goldelse, meaning something like "Golden Lizzy". The Victory Column is a major tourist attraction in the city of Berlin. Its viewing platform, for which a ticket is required, offers a view over Berlin.

LA VICTORIA ENTRE LÁMPARAS, 2011
(De mi archivo digital de fotos propias, 2011)
La Columna de la Victoria (en alemán: Siegessäule), de Sieg 'victoria' + Säule 'columna') es un monumento en Berlín, Alemania.
Diseñado por Heinrich Strack después de 1864 para conmemorar la victoria prusiana en la Segunda Guerra de Schleswig, cuando fue inaugurado el 2 de septiembre de 1873, Prusia también había derrotado a Austria y sus aliados alemanes en la Guerra Austro-Prusiana (1866) y a Francia en la Guerra franco-prusiana (1870-1871), lo que le dio a la estatua un nuevo propósito.
A diferencia de los planes originales, estas victorias posteriores en las guerras de unificación inspiraron la adición de la escultura de bronce de Victoria, la diosa romana de la victoria, de 8,3 metros (27 pies) de altura, diseñada por Friedrich Drake, dando a la columna de la victoria su altura actual de 67 metros.
Los berlineses le han dado a la estatua el sobrenombre de "Goldelse", que significa algo así como "Isabel Dorada". La Columna de la Victoria es una importante atracción turística de la ciudad de Berlín. La plataforma superior ofrece una amplia vista de Berlín. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
