Design and history

The memorial was originally erected for the fallen of the First World War . It consists of a stele with an almost square floor plan, each of which has a guardian figure smaller than life at each of its four corners.

The names of the fallen soldiers from Möckern are incorporated in the lower area of ​​the sides of the stele . Due to advanced weathering, however, some of the inscriptions were difficult to read. Therefore, transparent plastic plates were placed in front of the inscriptions on which the inscriptions are repeated. A memorial plaque was also put up to commemorate the Second World War .
