Trivia
The memorial was created in 1894. The inscription under the imperial eagle reads: "The city of Pfeddersheim its brave sons 1870/71". It is noteworthy here that already 20 years before the creation, Pfeddersheim was downgraded to a "village" by the rural community order for the Grand Duchy of Hesse from 1874. The “pride” of the Pfeddersheimers let this fact “fall under the table” when creating the inscription.
