    In August 1914, a total of 50 men, women and children were executed here or forced to walk into French machine gun fire; the youngest victim was 18 months old. The executors, the 25th infantry division, officially Grand Ducal Hessian (25th) Division (Großherzoglich Hessian (25.) Division), were afraid that these were Belgian guerillas.

    The monument was built in 1921, after which a vault was added in 1946 with the remains of the civilian victims of 1914.

    The 'Minenwerfer' at the monument is of German origin (Rheinmetall) and was used to demolish bunkers and defenses.
