Another memorial from past wars.

After the last Rheinberg prisoner of war returned to his hometown from Russia at the beginning of 1956, the residents' demand for a memorial became great. So in July 1957 a memorial committee was founded, consisting of the higher personalities of the city, which decided in favor of a design by the Klever architect Toni Hermanns. He wanted to create a contrast between a peaceful landscape and a threatening bronze sculpture as a symbol of the inhumanity of war. The sculptor Fritz Koenig implemented the design of the sculpture, financed by donations, so that it was inaugurated on June 17, 1964 as the “Gate of the Dead”.

Walkable monument commemorating all the dead of the last wars. It is quite unique as it is not a memorial and commemorates not only the fallen soldier.
