The memorial was erected to commemorate the sacrifices of local soldiers during this war. It is located in a prominent location in the city and serves as a place of remembrance and reflection for the community.

The Franco-Prussian War was a conflict between the Second French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, along with its German allies. The war resulted in the defeat of France and led to the unification of Germany under Prussian leadership. For many German cities and towns, including Kleve, this meant the loss of local soldiers, which led to the erection of memorials such as the Kriegerdenkmal.
