Built directly after the battles in 1945, it stands out with authentic T-34 tanks and howitzers, standing next to the soldier.

The Soviet War Memorial in Tiergarten is one of several monuments in Berlin commemorating Soviet soldiers who died during World War II. It was erected in 1945, immediately after the end of hostilities, on the East-West axis, near the Brandenburg Gate. The monument consists of a semicircular colonnade, a central pedestal with a figure of a Soviet soldier, and two T-34 tanks and two howitzers. Approximately 2,000 Red Army soldiers are buried beneath the monument. It is an important historical symbol.
