Denkmalsanlage am Hang der Karlsaue, War memorial in Karlsaue Park, Kassel, Germany

The Denkmalsanlage am Hang der Karlsaue is a memorial site situated on a sloping hillside within Karlsaue Park, featuring commemorative plaques and architectural structures dating from the early 20th century. The location combines multiple monuments and inscriptions dedicated to remembering fallen soldiers.

The terraced garden was laid out as a baroque orchard in the first quarter of the 18th century. In 1920 Kassel decided to convert it into a memorial for the fallen; the Kurhessischer Kriegerbund raised 100,000 marks, the city added 50,000, and sculptor Hans Sautter waived his fee. A first inauguration in May 1926 turned into a right-wing demonstration, and the official one followed in 1928. After 1945 the dead of the Second World War were included.

The retaining walls and side walls of the four large terraces carry 92 stone tablets, steles, reliefs and one bronze plaque, many installed by soldiers' associations such as the Kurhessischer Kriegerbund. A plaque added on 9 May 1987 commemorates Second World War conscientious objectors; its wording was debated for years before "Erinnerung" was agreed in February 1985.

The memorial can be reached via several pathways through Karlsaue Park, with signs pointing the way from the main entrances near the city center. A walk through the park offers the best way to visit, since the sloping terrain makes for a pleasant stroll.

The retaining walls and side walls of the four large terraces carry 92 stone tablets, stelae, reliefs and one bronze plaque, most of them installed by soldiers' associations such as the Kurhessischer Kriegerbund, which was allowed to mount its own memorial tablets on the walls. A 1958 wall relief came from the Traditionsgemeinschaft of former members of the Panzergrenadierdivision Brandenburg and the Panzerkorps Großdeutschland.
