Ehrenmal für die Gefallenen der Flakartillerie, War memorial in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany.
The Ehrenmal for fallen anti-aircraft gunners is a war memorial in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf cemetery featuring a kneeling archer sculpture aiming upward. Created by sculptor Felix Kupsch, it stands along Bergstrasse within the calm cemetery grounds.
Originally erected in 1933 at Emmich Block to honor anti-aircraft gunners from the First World War, the memorial was moved to its current cemetery location in 1957. The relocation marked the beginning of its expanded role to commemorate a wider group of fallen soldiers.
The memorial serves as a gathering place for remembrance events, particularly drawing people on Stalingrad Day to honor fallen soldiers. These annual occasions show how this site remains part of the local memory of past events.
The memorial stands within the cemetery grounds along Bergstrasse and remains accessible to visitors year-round. The quiet setting provides a respectful environment for paying respects.
After World War II, additional inscriptions were carved into the memorial to extend its purpose beyond the original dedication. This expansion shows how the site evolved to honor a broader remembrance over time.
