The "Storchenmauer" is the standing gable wall of a destroyed house in the 2nd World War in the center of Ostheim. It gives its name to the Place des cigognes (Storchenplatz). Each year, the storks return and take back their nest, which is located on the remainder of a firewall.

World War II Memorial - An old, former fire wall from a bakery and a farm, which withstood the winter bombing of 1944/45 and has now been rebuilt by the community as the so-called "Stork Wall" as a symbol of life and renewal.
