A farm as a theater of war in early 1945, with the back and forth of the front, numerous casualties, and informative and meticulously researched display boards at authentic locations. A superbly designed and worthy memorial site!

"The Klessin estate, situated high on the Reitwein spur, was a strategically important point for the German Wehrmacht in the spring of 1945 and the strongest and longest-held stronghold on the Oder Front. From here, five bridges over the Oder River, about two kilometers away, were clearly visible. After weeks of fighting, the estate, as well as the towns of Wuhden and Klessin, were completely destroyed."
