In 1916, the city's dignitaries chose the symbol of an iron rose as a symbol of the willingness of Rosenheim citizens to make sacrifices during the First World War, in analogy to the city's coat of arms.
As explained in the appeal published on March 24, 1916 by the "Rosenheim East Committee for Voluntary Nursing in War," every donor who wanted to make a contribution to the victims of the war or to support them was to hammer a nail into the memorial.
