It is located on the Geiersberg.The hero grove was created in 1929 by the Deggendorf town nursery and is located on the Geiersberg. After the two world wars, a tree was planted for every Deggendorf man who fell; There are plaques for the fallen on the trees and the grave-like bed is bordered with layered stones. Since 1985, the city of Deggendorf has held a memorial service at the Geiersberg memorial every year in early summer.
