"On March 17, 1945, the "last day of the war" in this region, the German units retreating over the Erbeskopf were suddenly attacked by American fighter-bombers. In the process, 32-year-old NCO Alfred Brotkorb died and was buried on the spot next to the road (today L 164).

A Deuselbach couple, whose son had been killed in Russia, maintained the gravesite for many years. Also the widow of the fallen did not wish a reburial. In 2004, the gravesite was redesigned by another private initiative and provided with a large information board."
