The tower of this former windmill still makes a good impression and, on the one hand, still shapes the surrounding landscape to this day. On the other hand, it lacks precisely those elements that were once so fundamental to its appearance: Without the characteristic wings - which used to capture the force of the wind to set the heavy millstones in motion - the building is now missing an essential architectural element.

Such places are still very important today as a memorial to the many dead. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not die in peace, but became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny. The most important and, at the same time, enduring function of military cemeteries (usually called “war cemeteries” in German-speaking countries) is to commemorate this and to remind each generation anew to maintain peace in the long term.
