3D Model

The war memorial in the market town of Kemeten is located in the town center in front of the parish church of St. Nicholas. It was erected as a memorial to the victims of the First and Second World Wars and commemorates the men from the community who lost their lives during the war years. The memorial consists of a massive square pedestal crowned by the figures of a standing and a lying soldier. Inscriptions with the dates of the two world wars refer to the historical events that claimed the lives of the fallen. To this day, the war memorial is a central place of quiet remembrance and is integrated into the community’s culture of remembrance during commemorative ceremonies and church events.
