    Hiking

    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.

    Shortly before the end of the war, two young German soldiers died here and were buried in a small cemetery directly next to the Mahlberg Tower.
