Dear Komoot, why is the Kronberg forest cemetery in Bad Homburg???

Bad Homburg also has its bridge where lovers can leave a lock.

A very special cross, in my opinion. It stands for the prisoners of war and missing victims of all wars and violence!

The forest cemetery, which was created by the town of Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe in 1920-1922, was the first to house a burial site for 19 war dead from the First World War who had died in Bad Homburg military hospitals. During the Second World War and after its end, other war dead were buried in the vicinity of this site: mainly German soldiers and civilian air war victims, but also the former Soviet prisoner of war Alexei Danilov. In 1949, the Volksbund began to redesign the site, which took on its current structural form. The design for the redesign came from Robert Tischler, the Volksbund's chief architect from 1926 to 1959. In 1951, a bronze "shrine of honor" was made for the chapel at the front of the redesigned burial site. It has the shape of a three-winged altarpiece divided into eight sections. In the fields, plaques are mounted on which the names of the dead are listed alphabetically.

It is a beautiful bridge. For several years now, people have been attaching “love locks” to it.
