"Will's Graves" burial monument complex

Grave site on the 931 m high Sommerbachskopf by Kommerzienrat Oskar Will, owner of the Venuswaffenwerk, in memory of his sons Hugo Will who died in the First World War near Metz in 1914 and Fritz Will near Lodz in 1914.

It was built by master builder Lange from Mehlis and the companies Bieräugel from Zella St. Blasii and Günther and Wendel from Suhl. The funeral took place on 22.8.1915 and was attended by a large number of people.

The tomb impresses with its monumental appearance with a wide staircase and a blunt, brightly shining sandstone pyramid, on which the biblical saying "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends", crowned with oak leaves, is still inscribed today. Ev. John 15 V. 13 Rest easy." the inscription with the names of the fallen and a relief showing the Lion of Thermopylae. The tomb was completely overhauled by the town of Zella-Mehlis in 1998.
