| In Memmelsdorf (today part of
Untermerzbach), there is a war memorial (consisting of several parts) for
the fallen soldiers of both World Wars, in the center of the village,
infront of the church. On the commemorative stone, on top of which is an
Iron Cross, below the inscription:
DEN HELDEN DER GROSSEN ZEIT
(to the heroes of a great time)
and military symbols, you will find the
sentence: VERGISS, MEIN VOLK, DIE TREUEN TOTEN NICHT (my people,
don't forget the loyal dead). On the back of the monument, you have the
dedication:
IHREN IM WELTKRIEG 1914 –
1918 GEFALLENEN SOEHNEN IN TREUER ERINNERUNG UND DANKBARKEIT GEWIDMET VON
DER GEMEINDE MEMMELSDORF UND SETZELSDORF
(in true memory of their sons who died in
action in the World War 1914-1918, dedicated by the communities of
Memmelsdorf and Setzelsdorf)
