I personally always find the term "Kriegsdenkmal" (war memorial), used (not only here) in the name of the highlight, a bit jarring. Although it is the literal translation of the English "War Memorial" and widely used in that language, in my subjective opinion, the term should not be used that way in German. After all, one commemorates not "the war" itself, but rather "the victims of the war(s)." For many decades, the term "Kriegerdenkmal" (war memorial) was common throughout the country; now, "Gefallenen-Denkmal" (fallen memorial) or "-Ehrenmal" (war memorial) is gaining ground. In my opinion, this term much better clarifies the current (dual) meaning—namely, on the one hand, to commemorate the victims of war and tyranny, and on the other, to understand this as a reminder to maintain peace.
