This memorial, located at the entrance of Cranbrook, commemorates the residents of Cranbrook who were killed or missing in World War I and World War II. It is a granite column with a stepped top and features a coat of arms. The names of the individuals are listed in the Parish Church of St. Dunstan

As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously more common "war memorial".
