| In Muhr am See (formerly
Alten-und Neuenmuhr) upto the Third Reich there was a commemorative plaque
for the Jewish fallen soldiers of the village in the local synagogue. Since
the sale of the synagogue, the plaque has disappeared, probably it was
destroyed during the pogrom of the 10th of november 1938.
In 1958 the "Heimatverein Alten- und Neuenmuhr"
erected a war memorial for the fallen soldiers of the wars of 1870/71,
1914/18 and 1939/45. It is situated on the junction of the Judenhof and the
Kirchstraße, about 200 m to the east of the protestant church of
St.Johannis. Six plaques of stone have been put up on a sandstone wall (1.6
m high and 7 m long) below the inscription: DEN GEFALLENEN UND VERMISSTEN
DER KRIEGE 1870/71 * 1914/18 * 1939/45 (to the fallen and missing
soldiers of the wars 1870/71*1914/1918*1939/1945). On the plaques, you find
the names of the fallen and missing soldiers of the three wars. On the
plaque to the far left, the names of two Jewish soldiers are commemorated:
ISAAK FLEISCHMANN
19.7.1916 FROMELLES/FRANKR.
JULIUS WEINMANN
7.6.1917 HONTHEM/FRANKR.
Below the plaques, the inscription: WIR
MAHNEN ZUM FRIEDEN (we remind you of peace) can be seen.
