Note: The monument, also known as The Monument to the Battle of Nations, was designed by Bruno Schmitz and erected in Leipzig (Saxony) Germany in 1913. It is said to stand at the center of some of the bloodiest fighting during the 1813 battle, during which Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg, led coalition armies of Russian, Prussian, Austrian and Swedish soldiers against Napoleon's troops (which also included conscripted Germans). Their defeat of Napoleon helped turn the tide against his progress in Europe. The monument has historically been viewed as a commemoration of the German spirit. During the Third Reich, Adolph Hitler frequently used the monument as a venue for his meetings, and it was one of the last strongholds in the city to surrender to U.S. Troops in 1945. 3rd item: Meissen Blue Onion reticulated and footed bowl with three dolphin fish feet.
