Ehrenmal Marienfeld, War memorial at former monastery entrance in Marienfeld, Germany.
The circular stone structure with an octagonal bell-shaped roof houses a limestone statue of Saint George defeating a dragon.
Built between 1952 and 1955, the memorial repurposed an 18th-century monastery well house to honor casualties of both World Wars.
The memorial serves as a central gathering point for the annual National Day of Mourning and local heritage festivals.
The monument stands on a triangular space known as Kirmeswäldchen, surrounded by beech trees and low iron chains south of Klosterstrasse.
A local protest in 1954 against the initial statue led to its replacement with a new Saint George figure by sculptor Hubert Hartmann.
