The memorial commemorates the decisive battle of the Smalcald war on the neighboring field in 1547.

The Schmalkaldic War was led by the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire with the aim of pushing back the prevailing Protestantism in the area of the Schmalkaldic League, primarily Hesse and Kursachsen. The Protestant troops were defeated by a superior force of the Imperial Army.

However, Protestantism could not be stopped.

Small rest area, big impact!! ✨

Whichever direction you look, Falkenberg (Elster) reveals itself from a new, idyllic perspective. 👁️‍🗨️

Located directly behind the railway crossing at the entrance and exit of the town, the location offers beautiful panoramas surrounded by nature. 🌳
