    Memorial for the victims of both world wars. It was originally built as a heroes' memorial in 1935. During the Nazi era, it was used as a prestige object and to glorify war. In 1956, it was partially redesigned and expanded to commemorate the fallen and displaced people of the Second World War.

    Today, the victims of all armed conflicts are remembered here and the war crimes are remembered. It is also intended to be a memorial to strengthen the forces of peace.

    At the moment (2022), the reminder of the dead is more important than many other things!
    The books in the niche behind the sculpture are only there on Remembrance Day. Otherwise, they are kept safely by the Menden city administration.
