    The Canossa Column on the Burgberg plateau in Bad Harzburg was erected in 1877 in honor of Otto von Bismarck. It commemorates his saying „Nach Canossa gehen wir nicht“ (We will not go to Canossa) and thus refers to a historical event from the Middle Ages. The approximately 19-meter-high column stands near the ruins of the Harzburg and offers a wide view over the Harz foothills. Today, it is an important monument and a popular destination.
