History:This monument was created as a memorial to the victims of World War I, but also as a memorial to the victims of the aftermath of World War I sometime during the 1920s or 1930s by an artist unknown to me. It was at the time when Czechoslovakia was founded in 1918 that the riots started in the border region among Czech Germans who did not like being part of Czechoslovakia. These riots took place at the end of 1918 and the beginning of 1919. The riots were suppressed by the occupation of the local border towns by the Czechoslovak army. This act resulted in 56 demonstrators being shot and 2 soldiers killed. After the end of World War II, the original German memorial plaques were removed and replaced with a new plaque that also commemorates the removal of the original German population, which also took its toll. The memorial is still preserved in its form from the time of its restoration after the end of World War II.
