The Unterhaching Warrior and Soldier Comradeship was founded in 1874 as a warrior and veteran association of soldiers in the Franco-German War of 1870/71 . Before 1918, the association was more Bavarian than German-national, because at the end of the meetings there was a cheer for Prince Regent Luitpold and, in later years, for King Ludwig III. was called out. As 33 of the 100 or so Unterhaching soldiers were killed in World War I , the association wanted to erect a memorial after the war. It was designed by the Munich stonemason Constantin Frick . Together with the political community, it was built for 4600 Reichsmarks and inaugurated on June 7, 1925 as a belated anniversary celebration (50 years of warrior and soldier comradeship Unterhaching). The celebration began with a festive service, followed by a parade with several floats on which "living images" of the World War were recreated. The festival was musically accompanied by the band of the Reichswehr Infantry Regiment 19. The memorial was finally handed over to the community for further maintenance.
The monument stands on today's Friedensplatz near the parish church and the former local cemetery, i.e. between the main street with the farmhouses and the parish church. It consists of Kirchheim shell limestone . The monument is designed as a stele with tapering and stylized corner supports. On the top is a bronze statue of the Patrona Bavariae . The steele stands on a stepped, octagonal base. In 1955, the memorial was renovated and re-inaugurated on November 13, 1955 (National Day of Mourning).
Today's square has been the property of the community since a sixteenth- century estate burnt down there in 1858 . The location had no name of its own until 1933, after which it was called Hindenburgplatz , after 1945 it was renamed Friedensplatz - also because of the monument. In contrast to most war memorials, the names of the soldiers killed are missing, they are noted in the Unterhachingen churches.
