Memorial Chapel St. Otgerkerk

In Stadlohn, in a niche of the chapel, there is a memorial monument to the inhabitants who died during the 1st and 2nd World War.

The monument consists of several parts:
An open book with a text in memory, signed by the then Prime Minister, Richard von Weizsäcker.

Behind it on the wall is a large plaque with inscription and an image of a soldier erecting a cross. This one in memory of the 151 fallen during the 1st World War.

Finally, on the side wall, a bricked-in stone plaque commemorating the victims of the air raid on Stadtlohn, March 1945, in which 296 inhabitants lost their lives.
