Shows exactly the senselessness of the world wars and reminds you that some still haven't understood it!

Oskar A. Kiefer created this unusual imagery
Memorial to the victims of the First World War. Death as
Grim Reaper rides a mighty horse over soldiers and
civilians alike, swinging his mercilessly
deadly scythe. Under the impression of the countless war victims
of the First World War, it was important for the artist to
To warn of the horrors of war and this at a frequented
Site within the city and not in the remote place
Cemetery.
The addition "1939-1945" has also been used here since 1995
Commemorating the fallen of World War II. (Q: ettlingen.de)

On the south side of the town hall tower, above the archway, is the striking memorial to the dead created in 1927 by the Ettlingen sculptor Oskar A. Kiefer. The Grim Reaper (death) is shown with his lustful horse, which ruthlessly tramples on human bodies, soldiers and civilians alike. A well done memorial. Since 1995, the lettering addition "1939-1945" can also be seen and is also intended to commemorate the fallen of World War II.
