Österreicherdenkmal, War cemetery in Cuxhaven, Germany.
The Österreicherdenkmal memorial consists of clinker brickwork crowned by a stone globe with a cross, featuring interior walls with sandstone tablets listing fallen soldiers.
The memorial was constructed in 1932 to commemorate soldiers who died in World War I, with over 600 names engraved on 15 sandstone tablets inside.
The memorial follows the architectural design of the Kugelbake, a local maritime landmark, earning it the nickname 'Stone Kugelbake' among residents.
The memorial stands in Ritzebüttel Cemetery, where visitors can explore the quadratic interior room covered by a circular dome and view the mosaic floor.
The floor mosaic within the memorial hall displays the territorial boundaries of Germany as they existed during the construction period.
