    A total of 11 children (as well as an unmentioned farmer's wife with her tractor) died in August (2) and October (9) 1945, i.e. after the end of the war. They played here and the anti-tank mines were their undoing.

    The memorial was built to commemorate the "forgotten children".
    In August and October 1945, a total of 11 children were killed here by German Wehrmacht mines. Another victim was forgotten, a farmer who also drove her tractor into a mine and died.

    Impressive monument to children who died in the second world war as a result of a mine accident.
