No century in modern European history has built monuments with more
enthusiasm than the 19th. Of the hundreds of monuments erected,
those which sprang from a nation-wide initiative and addressed
themselves to a nation, rather than part of a nation, we may call
national monuments. Nelson's Column in London or the Arc de
Triomphe in Paris are obvious examples. In Germany the 19th century
witnessed a veritable flood of monuments, many of which rank as
national monuments. These reflected and contributed to a developing
sense of national identity and the search for national unity; they
also document an unsuccessful effort to create a «genuinely German
style. They constitute a historical record, quite apart from
aesthetic appeal or ideological message. As this historical record
is examined, German national monuments of the 19th century are
described and interpreted against the background of the nationalism
which gave birth to them.
