Memorial War Victims Goldegg

At the local castle Goldegg, a beautiful historic castle, there is a monument in the form of a number of boulders with a plaque on the street side in a bend. In front of the center stone is a wooden cross with the war cross and a "Stahlhelm" on it. Model M1940 should be the typical German helmet used in several variants during the 2nd World War.
On top of the stone in the middle an eagle in a white stone.

The middle stone is for the victims during the first world war, the two stones on both sides the fallen from the second world war.
the inscriptions read;

The fallen heroes of Goldegg and Goldegg Weng (center)

1939 1945
The Fallen of World War II in Goldegg Congregation (both stones left and right bear this inscription)

The monument is enclosed by a small courtyard with a stone wall and a wrought iron gate.
