A pencil drawing of the World War I Memorial to the 6th Thuringian Infantry Regiment No. 95 in the Veste Coburg castle, Coburg, Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany. Made in bronze on a stone plinth base.
A steel helmet (Stahlhelm) is resting over a grenade, a cavalry saber, a tactical belt and bayonets. Between them, a foliage of bay laurel leaves, symbolizing and honoring the dead.
Also a World War I Iron Cross (EK 1914) (German: Eisernes Kreuz, abbreviated EK) with the initial “W” for Kaiser Wilhelm II decorates the memorial in honor of the fallen soldiers.
The absolute majority of the German war memorials originally commemorated soldiers fallen during the First World War. Most of them were extended later to show the names of locals who died at the front lines of World War Il in addition.
