War Monument Herbstein

At the cemetery in Herbstein, a large monument has been erected in memory of the local victims of the First and Second World Wars.

The monument consists of two figures; a fallen soldier on the left with the text Des Vaters Tod and a child on the right with the text Der Mutter Not. Given the inscriptions on these statues, the monument was initially erected for the war victims of the First World War. In the middle is a statue of Mary with Jesus in het arms in the center. The names of the war victims from both World Wars are listed on the stones around the monument.
