| In Krumbach, there is a
"Kriegergedächtnisstätte" (war memorial complex), that was inaugurated on
the 17th of november 1957. It is situated on the Westfriedhof, on
Babenhausenerstraße. Here you will find a "memorial chapel", with the head
of a soldier on one of the walls and a symbolic grave infront of it, that
has the inscription:
DEN TOTEN ZUR EHRE DEN LEBENDEN ZUR MAHNUNG.
(in honour of the dead, as a reminder to the
living)
To the left of the chapel, on the outer wall
of the cemetery, there are five bronze plaques, with the following
dedications:
