At the foot of the Mühlenwall, on the corner of Bismarckstraße and Benser Straße, stands the Einbeck War Memorial. It commemorates the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. It was inaugurated on September 3, 1876, during the Sedan Day celebrations. Originally, the approximately eleven-meter-high monument stood in the middle of the market square. In 1942, it had to make way for the Eulenspiegel Fountain and was relocated. The design of the memorial, constructed of sandstone and limestone, comes from the Einbeck architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase.
