War Memorial Stadtlengsfeld

In the two world wars of the 20th century Stadtlengsfeld was not directly affected by hostilities. Nevertheless, the wars brought great suffering to many families. The monument reminds of the victims. On the way there are always beautiful views of the city, the mighty cones of Baier, Oechsen and Dietrichsberg.

As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials are very important to this day. "Now you, lord, let your servant part in peace, as you said ..." it says in the so-called "hymn of praise of Simeon" (Luke Gospel chapter 2, verse 29). The people who are commemorated here, however, are not divorced in peace, but have become victims of war and tyranny. Many places that one encounters on the way bear witness to the horrors of war and tyranny, which are still important today. They all have two main functions:
-1- Remember the victims and remember them
-2- Admonish the keeping of the peace
