Jägerdenkmal, World War I and II memorial in Kempten, Germany

The Jägerdenkmal is a war memorial in Kempten that honors the fallen from both world wars, constructed from stone and featuring military symbols. The site displays inscriptions dedicated to the soldiers and provides visitors with information panels about the regional impact of the conflicts.

Initiated in 1925 by the association of former Einser-Jäger from Kempten and surroundings, the memorial was designed by architect Ambros Madlener, himself a former Einser-Jäger, and inaugurated on 20 July 1930 in the presence of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria. It first commemorated the Royal Bavarian 1st Jäger Battalion "König" and the fallen of World War I. In 1933 it was rededicated as Adolf-Hitler-Platz; after 1945 the square was renamed Audogarplatz, and in 1961 the memorial became the city's official site for Volkstrauertag commemorations.

The name refers to the Royal Bavarian 1st Jäger Battalion "König", garrisoned in Kempten until 1919. Since 1961 the Volkstrauertag ceremony has been held here, after veterans and residents asked for the commemoration to move from the Catholic cemetery. The rear wall bears the added dates 1914–1918 and 1939–1945, flanked by stone sculptures inscribed "Unser Opfer" and "Unser Dank".

The memorial stands in the Haubenschloßanlage, south of the Allgäu-Gymnasium at about 740 metres, near Gebirgsjägerweg and Zwanzigerstraße, facing the Allgäu Alps. The square in front, called Adolf-Hitler-Platz during the Nazi period, was renamed Audogarplatz after 1945. Visitors reach it on foot through the park.

The square in front of the memorial was renamed Adolf-Hitler-Platz in 1933 and after the war became Audogarplatz, after Audogar, founder and first abbot of Kempten Abbey. The memorial itself was re-dedicated in 1961 as the city's official monument to the dead of both world wars, when the inscriptions "1914–1918" and "1939–1945" and the stone figures "Unser Opfer" and "Unser Dank" were added.
