    As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials or war memorials are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the people who are commemorated here did not divorce in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
    Many of the places and monuments that you come across along the way are evidence of the horrors of war and tyranny, which is still relevant and relevant today. They all have two essential functions, and this for each new generation:
    -1- Commemorate and remember the victims
    -2- Remind to keep the peace

    In Oberursel, there are two well-known memorials to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71: One of them is the war memorial in Adenauerallee, which was inaugurated in 1895 from Main sandstone with a column crowned with an eagle and bearing the names of the combatants.
