    Hiking

    In 1962, the monument was erected by the sculptor Ehlers at the request of the then municipal administration of Meinberg in abstract architecture.

    Only the dates of the two great world wars were used by the sculptor to point to the horror of the wars.

    In 1998, at the suggestion and expense of the association "1000 Jahre Meinberg", bronze nametags were used to commemorate the victims of war and tyranny with 170 citizens from Bad Meinberg, Fissenknick and Wilberg.

    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 people who are commemorated here did not divorce in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
    Many of the places and monuments that you come across along the way are evidence of the horrors of war and tyranny, which is still relevant and relevant today. They all have two essential functions, anew for each generation:
    -1- Commemorate and remember the victims
    -2- Remind to keep the peace
