The largest monument for Friedrich Ludwig Jahn stood nearby Eger in West Bohemia and it was the most important "völkisch" bulding in the Bohemian territory. Franz Xaver Kießling, who presented in 1890s the first plans for the new Jahn-monument, and Friedrich Rudolf Zenker, who modified 1912 Kießlings plans, decorated the building with a complex "völkisch" symbolism.
Not only the form of the "Jahnmalhügel", but the choice of the place and the year of the finalization were evident statements of the "völkische Weltanschauung" as well. The "Jahnmalhügel" presents so the "völkisch", not best-known image of Fridrich Ludwig Jahn.
The problem of the contemporary perception of the in 1945 destroyed monument continues to be urgent because its ruins are still visible in the Bohemian landscape.
