War memorial Stadtkyll
Stadtkyll
Open today
The Stadtkyll war memorial was erected in 1934. The memorial was designed by Professor Emil Fahrenkamp, an architect and university lecturer who was head of the art academy in Düsseldorf from 1937 to 1946. It commemorates the 30 soldiers from Stadtkyll who lost their lives in the First World War. Their names are engraved on the sarcophagus in the memorial crypt.
Every year before Easter, the first processions of the year come from the surrounding communities to Fraukirch near Thür in the open field. It is one of the oldest churches in the Eifel and Rhineland, based on its 1,200-year-old church tradition.
Climb the 11m high "Dronketurm" on the Mäuseberg near the "Weinfeld Maar" and enjoy an incredible panoramic view over the GesundLand Vulkaneifel around Daun.
