    "The memorial for those who died in Diersfordt in World War I consists of a stepped base with a top and a modeled Ionic column rising from it.

    The following inscription is embedded in the attachment on the front side above plastically emphasized oak leaves and a helmet on a lying sword: To the fallen sons of glory Diersfordt 1914 -1918.

    On the back, the names of those who died are listed next to the following saying: "Here everyone is silent about their suffering and even the greatest need. / Aren't we all ready for sacrifice and death. / One thing stands tall in the sky / Everything is allowed Germany, our children's and fatherland, will perish / Germany must exist." The memorial was dedicated on September 30, 1928."

      A memorial beautifully integrated into the forest. Like the adjoining military cemetery, food for thought...
