    In the north-west corner of Friedensplatz(!) stands an impressive bronze sculpture intended to commemorate the victims of both world wars. Numerous names can be read on the metal plate in front of it - I assume that they are residents of Wachtendonk. The sculpture was created in 1965 by the Krefeld artist Theo Akkermann.

    The inscription reads: "IN MEMORY OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD TO LIVE DUE TO WAR AND VIOLENCE."

    This sculpture was documented (under the inaccurate name "War Memorial") here: statues.vanderkrogt.net/object.php?webpage=ST&record=denw704
