Mysterious lawn guerrilla is bothered by cemetery in Celle!

The city of Celle has been confronted with an unusual challenge lately: In a previously unknown campaign, unknowns scatter in a large -scale course in the city cemeteries in Westercelle and in the forest cemetery. This "lawn guerrilla" not only causes a stir, but also resentment among the cemetery gardeners, such as Celle reported.

The first signs of this idiosyncratic campaign appeared at the beginning of June when the master gardener Sven Zurawski discovered that the lawn sowing cheerfully grew on paths and even into the ivy growth. The proximity of the new grass areas to the war graves, which even more difficult, is particularly problematic. This not only leads to complaints from citizens about the unsightly appearance of the cemeteries, but also raises the question of who is behind this mysterious activity. So far nobody has been caught in the act, and there are also no concrete suspects.

Zurawski has already taken measures to remove the unwanted grasses. He plans to use a burner to take action against the wild grass. Finally, he appeals to the strangers to stop spreading the seeds, as this makes the work of the cemetery gardeners considerably more difficult.

memory of war and tyranny

in another corner of Germany, in Thuringia, the victim of war and tyranny was commemorated on Sunday. The central event took place in Heilbad Heiligenstadt, where Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow expressed his thanks to the State Association in the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge. Ramelow emphasized the importance of involving younger generations in memorial activities to prevent future conflicts and heal past wounds, as world. There are over 1,000 monuments in Thuringia who commemorate the wars of the 19th and 20th centuries, of which around 400 are listed. The state administrative office has already spent around 700,000 euros for the maintenance and renovation of war graves this year to ensure that the inscriptions remain readable and the grave signs remain safe. According to estimates, there are a total of around 600 war graves in Thuringia.

The tasks of the war graves

The Volksbund Deutsche Wargräberfürsorge not only takes care of the care of these monuments, but also manages over 830 war cemeteries in 46 countries that accommodate the remains of more than 2.8 million war victims, as [Volksbund] (https:// Kriegsgraeberstaetten.volksbund.de/en/). The main goal is to put a dignified monument to the victims of the tyranny.

In order to maintain the graves permanently, many smaller graves, especially from the Second World War, have to be relocated to central cemeteries. It is important to integrate these facilities into the landscape, so that they are not only emphasized in the area, but also give a harmonious part of the overall picture. In Western Europe, grave crosses or name signs are often used for identification, while in some Eastern Eastern Europe, such as in Poland and the Russian Federation, stele or name books are often chosen due to the high number of victims.

whether in Celle or Thuringia, the topics of memory and care of the cemeteries are killed by those responsible. While one city is fighting with an unexpected lawn campaign, the others are in the foreground in the other, which teach us to remind us of the past and make the future peaceful.
