Guided Story
Can you feel the gentle breeze rustling through the trees? It carries tales from the past. Just behind you, a few steps away, stands the imposing War Memorial. It speaks not just of losses but also reminds us to never forget the lessons of history. Look to your left, and you'll see the Schiller Memorial, another silent witness to time. If you close your eyes, you might almost hear the echoes of the old city walls that once stood here, where the Dammtor Station now lies. Let these thoughts resonate with you as you stand here. And remember, peace is not just a word, but a responsibility we all share.
