Lichtenfels
Lichtenfels (Oberfranken)
 
In Lichtenfels, there is a war memorial for the fallen soldiers of World War I in front of the cemetery, behind the crossing of Friedhofsstraße/Friedhofsweg/Goldbergstraße. Between two high columns, with a simplified Iron Cross on top, there is a pietà with the inscription:UNSEREN HELDEN 1914 – 1918 (to our heroes 1914-1918). On the base of the colums, there are commemorative stones with the names of the fallen soldiers from Lichtenfels, including those of the Jewish-German soldiers:

FRITZ . TRAUB . 9.11.14. 26.J.

and

RICHARD . GOSSER . 23.10. 24 J.
