Soldaten-Gräber, Krieger-Denkmäler, Erinnerungszeichen: Entwürfe und Vorschläge (German Edition)

This work analyses and describes German war grave and memorial designs, included are various designs for single soldier's headstones, as well as large-scale memorials to the fallen. Examples are by Bavarian architects: Kurz, Seidl, Siedler etc. The book was published in the depths of the war and shows that designs were evolving rapidly - thus the 1914 examples at the start of the book seem quite traditional, but later ones are more adventurous. Unlike Britain, there seems not to have been an imposed standardisation of design and this work must have been a valuable source book for those requiring such a memorial
