What silent stories does this weathered lion guard? Here at the Neuner-Denkmal, time seems to breathe. This isn’t just a statue. It’s a whisper of Würzburgs past. The Neuner-Denkmal, located at Neunerplatz, remembers the Royal Bavarian 9th Infantry Regiment “Wrede”. This regiment was stationed in Würzburg from 1849 to 1920. The monument also serves as a poignant reminder of the soldiers who fell in various campaigns and wars. Originally, the monument was erected in 1903. It marked the regiment’s 100th anniversary. The unveiling ceremony took place on July 19th. The stone lion, crafted in the Schleglmünig workshop, was a gift from the regiment’s officers. It stood proudly on a large square pedestal in the courtyard of the barracks on Weißenburgstraße. The pedestal listed the years of the regiment’s campaigns. A plaque bore the inscription: “The Royal 9th Infantry Regiment to its Fallen on the Field of Honor”. The monument’s journey continued. For the regiment’s 130th anniversary in August 1933, the lion was moved to the Neunerplatz. It was placed on a smaller pedestal. In 1965, three plaques were added to commemorate those who fell during World War II. Most recently, during the redesign of Neunerplatz in 1989, the Neuner-Denkmal was restored and moved about eight meters to its current location. It was ready just in time for the opening of the 1990 State Garden Show. Today, the Neuner-Denkmal stands as a tribute. It represents the 9th Infantry Regiment “Wrede”. It’s a sobering reminder of the cost of conflict. It’s also a testament to the enduring spirit of Würzburg.
