With his architectural work Walter Gropius belongs to the pioneers of new building in the twenties. In the Historical Cemetery there is a reconstruction of the monument to the March Fallen in Weimar, designed by him in 1922 to honor the victims of the Kapp Putsch. The Nazis destroyed it in 1936, and a replica was erected in 1946. The abstract monument made of concrete, shows a "lightning bolt from the bottom of the grave as an emblem of the living spirit" (Gropius). The lightning bolt is followed by the seven grave slabs of the victims.
