The original statue of Arminius in the mountains outside of Detmold, Germany
Known as the Hermannsdenkal since he was renamed Hermann by, we believe, Martin Luther
Designed by Ernst van Bandel and built over a period of 37 years (1838 – 1875)
Misled people into thinking this was the location of the battle
Hermann Monument – New Ulm, Minnesota, USA
Inspired by the Hermannsdenkal in Detmold, Germany
Designed and built by Julius Berndt and Alphonso Pelzer
Unveiled in 1897
