Heldenallee (Ebersberg)

Beginning of Heldenallee with a view to the Ebersberger Alm and the observation tower

The Heldenallee in Ebersberg is a memorial for the fallen of the First World War from the Upper Bavarian city. It is located between the Klostersee and the observation tower on Ludwigshöhe .

history

Ebersberg had 84 fallen dead after the First World War. As a memorial north of the city between 1929 and 1937, a linden tree was planted for every death on the way to Ludwigshöhe . Each linden tree received a name tag for a fallen man. The order is chronological, according to the date of death, on the way from the city up to the alpine pasture. The white boards with green roofs were last renewed in 1999. The letters are glued on to make them more durable. The boards are cleaned and repaired annually by the Ebersberg soldiers and warriors. Sometimes trees had to be felled in the meantime. They have been replaced by new plantings.

Directions

View from the Ebersberger Alm

Near the Klostersee, the avenue begins north as a paved footpath and bike path. After the first 38 trees, the street Ludwigshöhe crosses the avenue. There is a wayside cross here. From the intersection, cars drive up the ascending avenue to the Ebersberger Alm excursion restaurant and the natural history museum. There has already been criticism that the traffic would damage the roots of the trees. After the 55th tree you reach a parking lot and the restaurant. Behind this, the avenue leads the last stretch as an unpaved footpath up to the Ebersberg observation tower. The 56th tree was felled in 2014 for construction work and will be replaced later. More and more conifers surround the linden trees here. After the 69th tree you will reach the observation tower, around which the last trees of the fallen are located. You are already part of the Ebersberg Forest , surrounded by conifers and bushes. There is also an elevated tank here that supplies the town of Ebersberg with drinking water.
