War memorials – especially World War 1 memorials – tend to be celebrate and glorify. In Ettlingen, however, sculptor Oskar Kiefer depicted the skeleton of the grim reaper, below which are the twisted bodies of the dead and dying. When Hitler gained power in 1933, the memorial was removed from public display. Following the defeat of the Nazis, it was returned to the wall of the town hall and a second inscription – “1939-1945” – was added. As for Oskar Kiefer, with the rise of the Nazis commissions dried up due to his anti-war stance. He drowned in 1938 off the coast of Boulogne, France, possibly having committed suicide. #ettlingen #badenwürttemberg #germany #warmemorial #germanwarmemorial #kriegsdenkmal #antiwar #sculpture #oskarkiefer
