Jägerdenkmal

The Jägerdenkmal features a stone monument design that incorporates military elements and commemorative inscriptions honoring fallen soldiers from both world wars.

Constructed in 1930, the memorial underwent reconstruction in 1952 after its destruction in 1945 as retaliation for German forces demolishing a French memorial.

The memorial serves as a gathering place for commemorative ceremonies where local residents honor the memory of soldiers who died in military service.

Located in central Kempten, the memorial site provides informative panels explaining the historical context of the wars and their impact on the region.

The original construction included materials from captured French weapons, though these elements were not included in the 1952 reconstruction of the monument.
