The Kyffhäuderdenkmal is the third largest memorial in Germany. The building rises 81 metres into the air. Only the Leipzig Battle of the Nations Monument and the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument in Porta Westfalica have larger dimensions. Like its counterpart in Porta Westfalica in East Westphalia, the Kyffhäuser Monument was erected in honour of Emperor Wilhelm I. It is located in the Kyffhäuser Valley. It is located in the Kyffhäuser Mountains, more precisely on the site of the former Imperial Castle of Kyffhausen. The area is located in the federal state of Thuringia and borders on the southern Harz region and Saxony-Anhalt.
