background

At the end of 1914, the Prussian horticultural director Willy Lange developed the new form of memorial site known as the "German Heroes' Grove". According to his ideas, an oak should be planted for every fallen soldier in a community . Based on this model, an oak grove was created around 1927 southwest of the Flensburg Stadium for the fallen soldiers of the First World War , which encased an associated circular square. Furthermore, at the same time, 300 meters northwest of the Ehrenhain, the smaller, also originally circular solstice square ( location ) with a view of the harbor and the fjord was created .

The facility was not maintained during the Second World War . In the period after the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht , there was great damage from wood theft. Today's mixed planting of the green monument, consisting of oak, beech and elm , is likely to have emerged afterwards.

The Ehrenhain has been used by the Flensburg baseball club Flensburg Baltics , which belongs to the DGF Flensborg , since May 2011 . This city's only baseball club should not be confused with the "Falcons" baseball team from Flensburg, Minnesota . To set up the new baseball field, the shape of the honor grove was obviously changed, so that it is now more angular.
