    With the creation of the "martyrs' monument" in 1923-1925, the city council wanted to pay tribute in a dignified and ostentatious manner to the numerous citizens who, according to the Belgian version, were innocently executed by the Germans during the August days of 1914.

    Architect A. De Bondt, whose design was awarded in the public competition of 1921, conceived the monument as a representative and impressive memorial with a contemporary design characterized by clean geometric lines and stylized ornamentation in the line of Art Deco. Concrete stone and white natural stone were used as construction material.

    A very beautiful monument both during the day and in the evening for the fallen in Leuven.
