This cross commemorates the World War II soldiers

As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials or war memorials are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the two soldiers who are commemorated here with this cross did not divorce in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
Many of the places and monuments that you encounter along the way are testimonies of the horrors of war and tyranny - which are still relevant and relevant today. They all have, and this for each new generation, two essential functions:
-1- Commemorate and remember the victims
-2- Remind to keep the peace

The memorial is the grave of two Wehrmacht soldiers who died on April 10, 1945 when the radio station operated on the mountain during the Second World War was bombarded with artillery. A commemorative plaque was created in 2012. The Mahlberg Tower at that time was used as a radio station during the Second World War. The Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge (Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge) built a war grave site here in 1953 for the war dead from the Second World War from 1939 to 1945 from Malsch and the surrounding area.
