The Steuben Monument stands in the southern part of downtown Magdeburg. It is a replica of the original standing in Washington across from the White House.
Steuben was born in Magdeburg in 1730. As a Prussian officer, he earned lasting service in the American War of Independence. Even today, the famous Steuben Parade is held annually in New York.
He was one of the most colorful figures of the American War of Independence and made a decisive contribution to the victory of the American troops: Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben from Magdeburg made world history.
