The memorial to the victorious battles against Napoleon in the Wars of Liberation 1813 - 1815, commissioned by King Ludwig I, was begun by Friedrich Gärtner in the style of ancient and Christian central building ideas and completed in 1863 by Leo von Klenze according to modified plans.
The buttresses of the outer façade are crowned by 18 colossal statues as allegories of the German tribes. The number 18 also symbolizes the date of the Battle of Leipzig (18.10.1813), when Napoleon's troops were crushed by the coalition.
Den steilen Anstieg zur Befreiungshalle bewältigt man am besten bequem mit der Ludwigsbahn. Regelmäßig startet der weiß-blaue Minizug an der Schiffsanlegestelle Donau. So gelangt man nicht nur mühelos auf den Berg und genießt die Aussicht auf die Stadt, sondern erfährt unterwegs auch viel Wissenswertes.
