1. Kriegsdenkmal / War Memorial
Das Denkmal wurde zur Erinnerung an die Nürnberger Gefallenen des Krieges gegen Frankreich 1870/71 errichtet. Es erinnert auch an die Niederschlagung des Boxeraufstandes in China 1900/01 und an die fast vollständige Vernichtung des Hererovolkes 1904/06 im heutigen Namibia.
Heute kann das Denkmal als Mahnmal die Unsinnigkeit der Kriege gegen unsere Nachbarn in Europa, aber auch die Leiden und Opfer der damals unterworfenen und ausgeplünderten Länder der Dritten Welt ins Gedächtnis rufen.
The monument was erected in memory of the Nuremberg soldiers who fell in the war against France of 1870/71. It also commemorates the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900/01 and the almost complete destruction of the Herero people in 1904/06 in what is now Namibia.
Today, the monument can serve as a memorial reminding us of the senselessness of wars against our neighbors in Europe, as well as the suffering and sacrifices of the peoples of the countries that were subjugated and plundered at that time in the Third World.
Erected 1998 by Nuremberg.
