The pilots' memorial on the Wasserkuppe - the mountain of pilots - consists of basalt stones as a foundation and an eagle sculpture made of bronze, which was created by the sculptor and animal sculptor Professor August Gaul.

It was erected in 1923 in memory of the fallen pilots of the First World War (1914 - 1918), on the initiative of an association of former front-line pilots. According to estimates of the reporter of the Fuldaer Zeitung, 100,000 people attended the inauguration on August 30, 1923.

The inscription on the airmen's memorial reads:

"WE
DEAD AIRMEN REMAINED
SIEGER
BY US ALONE.
PEOPLE,
YOU FLY AGAIN
AND YOU WILL BE
WINNER
THROUGH YOU
ALONE."

The words must be understood from the spirit of those times after the lost First World War, which were strongly marked by deprivations of the population, reparation payments and inflation.

Kurt Tucholsky rightly criticized the monument and the cult of the glider pilots in the 1920s in the Weltbühne. The inscription was "beautiful, but wrong. The dead aviators are those who were shot down, i.e. defeated - which certainly does not disgrace them. But to construct a victory from a shooting down, which in the opposite case is celebrated as a glory, is surely not acceptable."

From the airmen's memorial, one has a magnificent view over the Rhön.

Expulsion of the brethren of the Moscow courtyard of the Valaam Monastery in 1924

The painting depicts the events of November 4, 1924, when, after the Liturgy, the Red Army soldiers arrested the head of the courtyard, Hieromonk Galaktion (Novikov). The painting recalls the tragic events of 1917, the revolution and the beginning of the era of godless persecution - 100 years later, our contemporaries, people of art, do not remain aloof from the experiences of the past.

"Cossacks! Cossack troops never recognized the authority of the Bolsheviks."

"When Bolshevism enslaved Russia, from 1917 to 1921 you fought for your independence with the enemy, many times superior to you numbers, and in materials and equipment. You were defeated but not broken. For a decade, from 1921 to 1933, you constantly rebelled against the power of the Bolsheviks. You were starved, beaten, sent with families, with small children to hard work to the extreme north, where you died thousands. You were shot and destroyed."

"When the valiant German army approached your frontiers, you appeared not as prisoners, but as faithful associates. You and your families, all people, left with German troops, linking your fate with them, preferring the horrors of war, battle, cold winter, and nomadic life - than slavery under Bolshevism."

"May the Almighty help you!"
