	War memorial of the First World War. The 2.50 meter monument commemorating the German fallen in World War I shows two men (father and son), one of whom is holding a sword. It originally stood on what was then Hindenburg-Ufer (today: Sundpromenade ) on a high stone plinth with the inscription "1914 - 1918 You didn't fall for nothing". The sculpture was created as a commissioned work. When the design was presented, the statue met with little enthusiasm from its clients and the city fathers of Stralsund. The district leader of the NSDAP lacked the group of figures "the heroic experience of war". The war clubs, however, endorsed the monument in its shape. After the end of the Second World War, the state government issued the order to break down and remove all monuments with a militaristic character. Despite the unambiguous base inscription, many people from Stralsund advocated the plastic's whereabouts. On December 2, 1946 the removal of the sculpture was ordered by the Schwerin government - by this time the Stralsund building authority had already stored the sculpture for half a year. From then on, it stood in a wooden shed on the grounds of VEB Tiefbau Stralsund. After the change in the former GDR , the Kolbe sculpture was brought to the courtyard of the Katharinenkloster ; inclusion in the holdings of the Kulturhistorisches Museum proved to be impracticable due to the weight of the sculpture. In the mid-1990s, the sculpture was restored after an exhibition at the Güstrow Barlach memorial.	Marinemuseum Dänholm	Georg Kolbe	November 24, 1935

Lambert Steinwich was mayor of Stralsund at the time of the siege of Stralsund by Wallenstein . In 1894, citizens of Stralsund founded under the direction of Prof. Dr. Karl Friedrich Theodor Reishaus launched an initiative to erect a monument for Steinwich. The committee, which was founded soon after, collected donations from the population; The Hagemeister family made the largest contribution. At the end of 1903 the required 20,000 marks had been collected. A suitable location was discussed for a long time. While some, including Jacobi, voted for a location in front of the Kniepertor (the Stralsund Theater is located on the designated space today ), others proposed that Steinwich be portrayed as stepping out of the Stralsund Town Hall on the Old Market . Ultimately, a majority prevailed, who favored a location on the western part of the Old Market in front of the Commandantenhus . The inauguration began with a festive service in the Nikolaikirche , then it was officially taken over by the city, represented by its mayor Ernst Gronow . This was followed by a feast for 120 guests in the Löwen's hall of the town hall. In the afternoon of that day, a folk festival took place on the bird meadow . The monument was officially moved to its current location on May 19, 1938 “for traffic reasons”. see also Lambert Steinwich Monument	Wulflamufer , near the Frankenteich	Wilhelm Jacobi	July 24, 1904
