The image shows a memorial built from stones, structured in a triangular or pyramidal shape with a capstone on the top. There is a plaque attached to the monument which reads "UNSERN HELDEN 1914-1918", likely a tribute to fallen soldiers from World War I, indicating this is a war memorial dedicated to "Our Heroes" from the years 1914 to 1918. The monument is set in a serene location with trees and greenery surrounding it.

In other countries (especially Belgium, France or the UK) the Great War is clearly more present than the Second World War. In German history, both wars are the proof for the downfall of mankind but - perceived - the cruelties of WW2 are dominating here in Germany due to our ashaming historical legacy and millions of inexpressible crimes against humanity.

Apart from that, when walking through Hamburg-Rahlstedt, I found this memorial to the fallen heroes of World War I by coincidence, getting the proof that the utter sacrifice of brave men of all nations (and German soldiers) in the first World War hasn't been forgotten as well.

Lest we forget.
