Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The bus was leaving so I could not get a closer shot of the monument.
This Angel stands just north of the Kastellet. She is a war memorial for all mariners who died in World War II and is located at the old marina near "The Little Mermaid". The sides with their reliefs form a platform on which there is a Statue of Memory (angel), fashioned after the famous ancient statue of Nike from Samothrake. On its plinth there are the names of ships that were sunk and of those who died, altogether 648 mariners and 102 Danish merchant vessels. The reliefs show a dramatic shipwreck after the ship has hit a mine at sea. On the back left we see Mars, the god of war, with his sword. He is pointing to an eagle that is attacking a gull as an emblem of the warring parties’ attack on the smaller nation. On the back right we see Mercury, the god of trade and shipping wearing a winged helmet and holding a caduceus, with which he is pointing to three doves. There is also a representation of a fatherless family. |
