Tips
The minesweeper memorial and the enclosing wall as a parapet were built according to plans by lieutenant captain Erich Bodanowitz and inaugurated on June 9, 1935 at a minesweeper meeting.
The builder was the Hamburg Mine Sweeping Association, which honored the fallen of the mine sweeping associations. A real sea mine from the First World War was placed on the 4.5 m high memorial.
