Germany - Magdeburg to Minden

The whole thing is 88m high. This section alone, which houses the statue of Kaiser Wilhem, is 51m high. When it was built it cost 833000 GoldMark (an odd thing to put on the plaque!) He was King of Prussia from 1858 then King of Germany from 1871. The monument was almost destroyed when the British blew up the tunnels through the mountain that had been used by the Nazis in WW11.
