One of the central memorials that impressively brings the meaninglessness of war and genocide closer to you

Time for reflection and admonition.. Time for silence

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such places - in German-speaking countries they are usually referred to as "war graves" or "soldiers' cemetery" - are still very important today. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the many people buried here by no means died in peace, but rather became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny.

The most important and at the same time enduring function of military or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is to commemorate this and to remind - every generation anew (!) - of the lasting preservation of peace.
