About 2 meters above street level.
A fire helmet with the inscription "Freiwillige Feuerwehr Saarburg" under it.
And the German Cross with a crown and the letter W and the year 1914.
Normally there would have been a commemorative plaque underneath, but unfortunately it was no longer there.

The unofficial "Database of cultural assets in the Trier region" (

"On the street side at the central risalit of the school, which was opened in 1900, a war memorial for those of the fire department who died in the First World War."
