A stone stele listing the fallen of 1914–1918 and 1939–1945

In the village of Wespen, a single stone stele stands as a quiet sentinel. It marks the heavy toll of two global conflicts, gathering the names of the fallen into a single, permanent record.

Located near the Schrotholzkirche, the memorial is classified as a Kleindenkmal - a small monument - within the local register. It sits in the landscape of the Dorfstraße, a modest piece of protected history.

A commemorative plaque is set into the face of the stone. It carries two sets of dates: 1914–1918 and 1939–1945. The plaque bears the inscriptions 'Zu Ehre und Gedächtnis der Gefallenen' for both periods and contains the names of the fallen.
