The aviator memorial on the Wasserkuppe - the mountain of the aviators - consists of basalt stones as a foundation and an eagle sculpture made of bronze, which was created by the sculptor and animal sculptor Professor August Gaul.

The inscription on the aviator memorial reads:

"WEATHER

DEAD FLYERS REMAINED

WINNER

BY US ALONE.

PEOPLE,

YOU FLY AGAIN

AND YOU WILL

WINNER

THROUGH YOU

ALONE."

From the aviator memorial you have a wonderful view over the Rhön.
