The memorial is located in the Gorgast church cemetery. It consists of a square stone column on a square base, crowned by an eagle. The names of World War I victims are carved on two of the long sides (now completely illegible). On the other two sides, symbolically depict a sword and a steel helmet with oak leaves. Metal plaques bearing the inscription "In remembrance of the fallen, displaced persons, political prisoners, and mine victims of World War II," as well as the names of the victims of World War II, were subsequently attached to the short sides.
