Paul Hederer Posted 5 September , 2008 Share Posted 5 September , 2008 Here's one my favorites. The 1870-71 memorial in Wiesbaden. We live across the park and I often come and sit below the monument. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted 5 September , 2008 Share Posted 5 September , 2008 I find this one intriguing for its heraldic, conceptual design. It's on the church wall in Endingen and this photo was taken in the snow of December 2004. I put other photos on the other thread. Gwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egbert Posted 4 August , 2012 Author Share Posted 4 August , 2012 Could not resist to post this nicely cared memorial in the small town of Braunlage, Harz mountains, where I spend a couple of days: "Lieutenant Colonel (Medical Corps) Dr. A. Aumann, head of Braunlage reserve hospital, saved our town in April 1945 from pointless combat action with the support of like-minded and risking his own life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 5 August , 2012 Author Share Posted 5 August , 2012 The small village of Schierke, an enchanted and outlying place in the high Harz mountain range, was the place of several sanatoriums pre war. During WW1 some changed to reserve hospital status. I believe the majority of WW1 dead deceased and buried here , were soldiers that did not recover from their injuries. Here are my today's pictures: The large memorial stone simply says "Heroes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
