Kringelsdorf Monument to the Fallen

The memorial for the fallen of two world wars in Kringelsdorf is located in the Saxon town of Kringelsdorf , a place in the municipality of Boxberg / OL. The memorial is located on a green traffic triangle on Rietschener Strasse. The sandstone column is on a larger base, has granite tablets on three sides and a stone eagle on top. The main page commemorates the victims of the First World War with the names of the inhabitants of Kringelsdorf and the Eselsberg district who fell in the war and were missing. The plaques on the right and left commemorate those who were missing and killed in the Second World War .

The monument is in good condition. In the 1920s, a linden tree was planted on the green strip for every person who died in the First World War. During the GDR era , at least one was felled for the construction of the nearby bus stop.

The monument is on the list of cultural monuments in Boxberg / OL , which were recorded by the State Office for Monument Preservation Saxony as of April 15, 2014.
