After Napoleon captured Germany and made political fragmentation, the public was looking for characters and events that could personalize the idea of ??national unity and greatness of the German nation. In the early 19th century monuments appeared in different locations in Germany. Construction of the Hermann monument began in 1838, before the others, but stopped because of financial problems. It ended in 1875 with financial support from Kaiser Wilhelm.

Ernst von Bandel, author of the monument, believed that the battle occured exactly where the monument stands, but now we know that it took place a hundred kilometers to the north east.

In 2025, the infrastructure near the monument is still being reconstructed, an information centre and a restaurant have appeared, and a children's playground is being built.
