Re-erection of the monument in spring 2017

The war memorial in Allershausen (Upper Bavaria) is an approximately four meter high stone obelisk . At the top it ends with a capital on which the Bavarian lion, resting, proudly looks out over the surroundings. On the front of the monument a white and blue diamond coat of arms is carved into the stone, underneath are the dates 1914–1918. The obelisk is in the center of Allershausen, right next to the bridge over the Glonn .

The memorial was erected on October 30, 1921 at the instigation of the local warrior and veterans association. It initially commemorated the 76 men from the communities of Allershausen and Aiterbach who fell in the First World War . Donations from the citizens of the village helped to finance the project.

In November 1954, at the suggestion of Mayor Johann Sgoff, the war memorial was supplemented with two stone tablets on the left and right. On them the names of the 130 fallen and missing of the Second World War are listed.

In April 2016, the monument was dismantled as part of the construction work to redesign the town center and stored at the local building yard. After the construction work was completed, it was to be rebuilt about 20 meters southeast of its previous location. In April 2017 it was re-erected in the newly designed facility on the Glonn.
