The war memorial in Bothmer was erected around 1920 as an obelisk-shaped monument made of fieldstone. Set within a landscaped and fenced area, it commemorates the fallen of the First World War with reliefs of an iron cross and a helmet decorated with oak leaves, whose names are inscribed on a granite slab. After the Second World War, a second plaque was added for the fallen and missing from 1939 to 1945. Today, the memorial enjoys protection as a historically significant individual monument.
