Ehrenmal Buer, War memorial in Buer district, Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
The Ehrenmal Buer is a commemorative monument located in the Buer district of Gelsenkirchen, constructed with stone and architectural features characteristic of the region. The structure includes designed spaces and elements that create a place for quiet reflection.
The monument was established after World War I to honor local soldiers who died in the conflict. Its creation occurred during a period when Gelsenkirchen shifted from a mining-based economy to become a major industrial center.
The memorial bears a name rooted in local identity and serves as a gathering point where the community comes together to acknowledge shared history. Visitors can observe how the site functions as a place where personal and collective remembrance intersect.
The site is accessible via paved pathways and located near bus and streetcar stops in the Buer neighborhood. Visitors can freely enter the surrounding areas and find spaces to spend time at their own pace.
