The war memorial chapel on the gallows lead high above the roofs of the city of Eltmann was built in 1953 to commemorate the fallen and missing in the Second World War. A way of the cross leads from the city up to the chapel. The chapel is open to the Main Valley on a parabolic floor plan in a scenic location and with an open bell tower.
