The State Monument to the Liberation Warriors 1813–1815 is a monument on Franz-Parr-Platz in Güstrow.

The sculptural works were created by Georg Wiese, probably based on designs by Albert Wolff. The financing was provided by an initiative of Güstrow citizens and by a collection of money among participants and relatives of the Wars of Liberation in preparation for the 50th anniversary. The foundation stone was laid on 27 March 1863 and the monument was unveiled on 12 July 1865.
