The Soviet memorial in the Tiergarten is the first memorial in Berlin for the Soviet soldiers who died in the fighting for Berlin. It was inaugurated on November 11, 1945 with an Allied military parade
The center of the memorial consists of a row of pillars arched inwards towards the street with a central, larger pillar as a base for an eight meter high bronze statue. The sculpture shows a Red Army soldier with a rifle shouldered - an indication of the end of the war. The Russian inscription means: "Eternal glory to the heroes who fell for the freedom and independence of the Soviet Union in the fight against the fascist German invaders. 1941–1945. "On the pillars there are texts that refer to the different branches of arms, as well as the names of fallen soldiers. The entrance to the memorial is flanked by two T-34/76 tanks and two cannons that were used in the Battle of Berlin. To the right and left of the main path are two sarcophagi with the names of fallen officers.
In the rear, horticultural part of the memorial are the graves of more than 2000 fallen soldiers.
