Ehrenmal Lübben: A Place of Remembrance
A serene memorial in Lübben, honoring the victims of war and promoting peace through reflection and remembrance in the heart of the Spreewald region.
The Ehrenmal in Lübben is a poignant memorial site dedicated to the victims of war and violence. Originally erected as a monument to the Brandenburg Jägerbataillon Nr. 3 in 1923, it was later repurposed in 1959 as a peace memorial. Today, it serves as a place for reflection and remembrance, particularly on Volkstrauertag (National Day of Mourning). Located in a serene setting within the Lübbener Hain, the Ehrenmal offers a quiet space for contemplation amidst nature. While the original Jäger sculpture is lost, the site retains its significance as a historical landmark and a reminder of the human cost of conflict. Visitors can appreciate the site's historical context and its role in promoting peace and understanding.
