Berlin Treptower Park Soviet War Memorial

After the Second World War, three large Soviet war memorials were erected in Berlin: one in Schönholzer Heide in Pankow, one in the Tiergarten and this one in Treptower Park. On a nine-hectare site, the Treptow memorial is the biggest in Germany. The memorials are not just places of remembrance, but also military cemeteries. 7000 soldiers of the Red Army are buried in Treptow alone. The memorial in Treptower Park was built between 1946 and 1949 . The Soviet War Memorial in Treptow was dedicated on 8 May 1949, exactly four years after the second war ended.The soldier statue commemorates the deeds of Sergeant of Guards Nikolai Masalov, who during the final storm on the center of Berlin risked his life under heavy German machine-gun fire to rescue a three-year-old German girl whose mother had apparently disappeared.
