The Siegestor in Munich was designed by Friedrich von Gärtner and completed by Eduard Mezger for King Ludwig I of Bavaria. Johann Martin von Wagner sculpted the marble quadriga. The arch was completed in 1852. The page has no infobox, so no dates conflict.
The article describes a three-arched memorial arch and states marble only for the quadriga. It is 69 feet (21 m) high, 79 feet (24 m) wide and 39 feet (12 m) deep.
World War II heavily damaged it, and it was only partly restored. Its back inscription by Wilhelm Hausenstein reads, in translation, dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, urging peace. The statues were cleaned and restored in the early 21st century. It appears in the film Heimat 2 and was a pit stop on The Amazing Race. It is a monument and a reminder of peace. The article gives no hours.
