| A war memorial for the fallen
soldiers of both World wars is to be found infront of the Hauptschule, next
to a bridge over the Bahnhofstraße: a round area with a monument in the
center is boardered by a semi-circular wall. On that wall, there are arches,
above which the following inscription can be read: EUER OPFER + UNSER
LEBEN (your sacrifice + our life). To the left of the arches, four
commemorative plaques for the fallen soldiers of Word War II have been put
up, to the left, two plaques for the victims of World War I. Among those (on
the left plaque), you will find the names of two Jewish soldiers:
Ansbacher Selmar 9.6.1914
on the right plaque
Friedmann Benno 1916
was added.
The square monument in the center of the
memorial complex is dedicated to the fallen soldiers of World War I. On the
front, below an Iron Cross that is boardered by two angels and the date of
1914 and 1918, there is the figure of a soldier. A ribbon with
the text: UNSEREN IM WELTKRIEGE GEFALLENEN HELDEN AUS DANKBARKEIT
ERRICHTET (to our heroes, who died in the World War, erected in grateful
memory) stretches over the four plaques. On the left side, below the
inscription: Leutershausen 1918, the names of the fallen soldiers are
commemorated, among them:
Friedmann Benno U.O. 13.
R.I.R. Rumä.
On the right side, below the inscription:
Leutershausen 1914 , among many comrades, you will find:
Ansbacher Selm. E.Gef. 14.
