      The memorial was created in 1935 based on a design by the Kronach artist Gottfried Neukam for the fallen soldiers of the First World War and was inaugurated in 1936.

      The memorial has the shape of a half-open oval, which is inserted into the rising slope with lining walls. In the middle is a sarcophagus, which is supported by four lions lying on a flat pedestal. On the wall behind the sarcophagus there are metal plaques with the names and dates of death of the fallen soldiers of the First World War. To the left and right of the wall with the name plaques there is a stone bust of a helmeted soldier attached to the stone wall.

      Below the two soldiers' heads there are metal plaques that were installed after 1945 and commemorate the more than 500 fallen and missing soldiers of the Second World War.
