| Planned location for the memorial (around 1937) |
In 1937/1938 a memorial for the soldiers who had passed away in World War I was erected in the northern part of today cemetery (maybe even into Adlerpark). It contained a statue by sculptor Helmuth Hopp. The plans for it depict a topless male holding a torch(?) in his hand. In front of him, there is a kneeling soldier with helmet and coat.[1]
A 2002 newspaper report claims that it showed a soldier holding a deadly wounded, naked comrade in his arms. The statues were removed in the 1950s, leaving a squared circle behind. A cross was errected, to remind on the soldiers instead. The Hinterzarten chapter of the Association of War Invalids, War Bereaved and Social Pensioners of Germany ("Verband der Kriegsbeschädigten, Kriegshinterbliebenen und Sozialrentner Deutschlands") suggested in 2002 to create a memorial plaque with the soldiers' names. They claimed to have the names of the 84 killed and missing soldiers serving in World War II as well as the names of the ones from World War I.[2]
Maybe those lists contained only initials instead of first names of the soldiers, since the current memorial confuses the two brothers Albert and August Steurenthaler: while Albert is listed on the memorial, his brother August went missing during the war and was later declared dead.
