Comments

The 'Forstturm' war memorial was built in honor of the fallen of the Jena battalion (3rd battalion of the 5th Thuringian Infantry Regiment No. 94) in the Franco-Prussian War.
The laying of the foundation the took place on June 18, 1871 as a highlight of the peace festival on the occasion of the end of the Franco-Prussian War. Exactly three years later, the tower was inaugurated.
