    Ewald Mataré's sculpture is an extraordinary memorial that commemorates the fallen soldiers of the First World War not as heroes but as victims. The sculpture was erected in 1934 to commemorate the suffering, death, and grief that every war brings.

    In the 1970s, the statue was accidentally rediscovered, restored, and placed in its current location at the Stiftskirche in 1981 as a memorial against injustice and violence.
