Friends who haven't been to Leipzig have occasionally had to put up with my attempts to explain why the war memorial is quite so... memorable. It's partly the scale and it's partly the style.

The phrase "Indiana Jones architecture" has been used by a few people, although it might not be entirely fair (although....). There now appears to be a YouTube video that gives a decent idea of what I've been on about - although you still have to look carefully to work out just  how big some of the carvings and sculptures really are...
