To mark All Saints’ Day and Remembrance Day, representatives of the town of Geisa and the Werner Deschauer Foundation laid a memorial wreath in front of the memorial on Brandplatz in Geisa. The memorial to the victims of war, expulsion and violence was erected and financed in 2007 on the initiative of the Werner Deschauer Foundation Geisa.
The quartz sandstone for the memorial comes from the Friedewald sandstone quarry and was made by the sculptor Rainer Landgraf from Fulda.
It was consecrated by the then town priest Uwe Hahner on September 30, 2007 with a large turnout from the local population.
Among them were many schoolchildren who read out the individual names of the victims of the First and Second World Wars and placed candles at the memorial.
