Christ The King Monument
This monument, built in 1930, was built in memory of the killed soldiers Ritzerfeld-Thiergarten from the First World War. Later, the killed soldiers and civilians from the Second World War were added to this.
It is the first Christ the King monument of Germany, after the feast of Christ the King was established as an official religious holiday in 1925 by Pope Pius XI.
