This impressive memorial is situated in front of the old primary school in Dornburg-Dorndorf, Hauptstraße 64.
It honors the fallen troops and missing persons of WWI and WWII.

There is a Friedrich Schiller quote (Wilhelm Tell):
"Seid einig einig einig!"

4. Aufzug; Szene 2:
"Meanwhile, Bertha has been borne off by Gessler's men. Ulrich, who earlier had condemned his master for Tell's ordeal and had declared that to keep silent longer would be treason to his country and his King, has gone over wholly to the side of his people. But he returns too late to find the old Baron of Attinghausen alive; his uncle has died with this injunction to the peasants: "The day of the nobles is passing. The new day of the people is at hand ... the flower of chivalry is cut down, but freedom waves her conquering flag on high.... Hold fast together, men—hold forever fast.... Be one—be one—be one----"".
