Erected in 1818 by former KGL officers, the monument stands as a poignant tribute to the Hanoverian soldiers who lost their lives or were fatally wounded during the Battle of Waterloo on the 18th of June, 1815. The Battle of Waterloo marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and is considered one of the most significant military engagements in European history.

The monument, dedicated to the fallen heroes, is a testament to their bravery and sacrifice. The inscription on the monument reads, "To the memory of the brave soldiers of the Hanoverian army, who fell during the campaign in France in the years 1814, 1815, and 1816." The photograph, taken in the 1910s, shows the monument in its timeless beauty, surrounded by lush greenery and the passage of time. The monument's intricate details and the solemn atmosphere evoke a sense of reverence and respect for the soldiers who fought valiantly for their cause. The monument continues to be a popular tourist attraction and a reminder of the rich military history of Europe. The Hanoverian Monument to the Kings German Legion is a significant historical landmark that pays tribute to the brave soldiers of the KGL who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Battle of Waterloo.
