Bad Nauheim commemorates the fallen: Memorial Day with heart and tradition

Bad Nauheim, Deutschland - In Bad Nauheim, the Memorial Day is celebrated with a variety of memorial events in all parts of the city. Despite the challenges and political restructuring, the memory of the fallen of the Second World War and the victims of war and terror are of central importance. Mayor Klaus Kreß will make a wreath in the main cemetery on the impressive sculpture of "Great Mauer", which was created by Knud Knudsen and bears deeply touching inscriptions.

The city has decided to continue the traditional celebrations in the districts after a centralized concept was not the desired appeal in 2021. The first city councilor Peter Krank explains that the decentralized events in 2023 were successfully carried out again in order to give citizens the opportunity to commemorate them in their own environment. "A good event in 2022 was accepted by only a few citizens," said Krank. This shows that people in Bad Nauheim are looking for a personal connection to the memorial celebrations.

The local mayors emphasize the importance of commemoration. Markus Philippi, Mayor of Steinfurt, emphasizes that it is important to keep the memories of the fallen soldiers and the victims of flight and displacement. Matthias Lüder-Weckler from Nieder-Mörlen is also ready to carry out the event even with just one visitor in order to underline the importance of commemoration. The events often attract seniors, but younger people are also actively involved, as Gisela Babitz-Koch from Rödgen/Wisselsheim reports.

The memorial events are planned for various cemeteries in Bad Nauheim: core city at 11:30 a.m., Nieder-Mörlen at 11:15 a.m., Rödgen at 11:00 a.m., Schwalheim at 2:00 p.m., Steinfurth at 3:00 p.m. and Wisselsheim at 12:00 p.m. The citizens are cordially invited to participate in these moving moments that include speeches, music and wreaths.
