A war memorial was not erected in Heidesheim until 1934, at a time when the National Socialists were gradually seizing all political power in Heidesheim as well. This project offered both the National Socialists and the strong Catholic church the opportunity for cooperation, which was also necessary because the red sandstone monument was to be erected on church grounds where a crucifixion group had previously stood.

There was a praying soldier in front of the plaques with the names of the 66 dead or missing and it still stands today on Ingelheimer Strasse in front of the church.
