War Memorial Schongau

The Schongau war memorial stands against the city wall in the historic monastery garden of the Karmeliterhof and dates from 1957.

Under an elongated stone tablet with the text: "Lord, let the people who guide us be good, pious people." hang three bronze plates with 448 names of the dead and missing from the 1870-1871 war and the two world wars.
The middle plate at the bottom shows a man who refused military service due to religious beliefs and was therefore executed in Berlin.
At the front is a marble slab on which a bronze cross is mounted. This dates from 1997 and was donated by the Association of Soldiers and Veterans.
