Guided Story

Imagine the thrill of the races at the nearby Schöneberg Velodrome, just 258 meters south of here. Cyclists once sped around the track, driven by dreams and determination. But beyond the sport, many of them faced challenges far greater than any race. This stele stands as a tribute to those riders who gave everything, not just for cycling, but for their country when it mattered most. Look at the stone’s simple grace. Each line carved into it speaks of bravery and dedication. Now, if you glance north, the Cheruskerpark's trees seem to echo those tales from the past. Take a moment to honor the legacy of courage and commitment that endures here.
