The war memorial in Gransee's municipal forest is an approximately 15-meter-high obelisk-shaped monument made of hewn fieldstone, which was inaugurated on October 27, 1901. After the First World War, additional memorial stones for the Gransee citizens who died in that war were erected at the foot of the memorial, creating a common memorial complex.
