An obelisk on a stepped brick base made of reddish natural stones, above a stone eagle on a ball. It was built in 1921.

An iron cross in contour on the upper gray granite slab.
Then the inscription:
Our heroes 1914-1918
Below is a helmet in half relief.

The majority of the monuments honor the killed German soldiers of the First World War as heroes, as brothers, as sons who gave their lives for a higher purpose: emperor and empire, people and fatherland. This should give the killing and killing on the battlefields in the countries attacked by the German Reich a higher and justified meaning.
Although the First World War claimed so many lives and the war was started and lost by the German Reich, the founders interpreted the death of war as meaningful in the inscriptions of almost all war memorials. The anonymous mass extinction was ignored, instead the soldiers were heroized and their fate stylized.

The inscription on the lower panel is after the name:
Faithful and brave until death

Behind the name and date of death of the soldiers is an O. (east) or W. (west) for the war zone in which they were killed.

Subsequent addition from 1958 on both sides with the names of the 32 soldiers killed in WWII with the inscription:
1939 In memory of the dead / 1945 for the living
