Baden-Baden - What is this monument and how far is it from Stourdza chapel?

We tried to go to Stourdzakapelle, but could not find it. Instead, we reached behind Trinkhalle, on Stourdzastrasse , a small mausoleum (?) or chappel (?), on the front of it is written something like "so wie wir furs vaterland geffallen...", you can see via a small window, inside a big cross and two tombs.

Can somebody please explain me what is this monument and whom are the tombs and also how we had to go from there to Stourdza chapel?

See please

Your photo link didn't work for me.

I've walked around the park just in front of that chapel as well as on the side streets by the Festspielhaus...can you try and relink again? Thanks!

Your link didn't work for me either, but seems to be a monument dedicated to "those who died for the fatherland", ie: Germany.

I have the answer. Somebody in another forum told me that this is Kriegergedächtniskapelle is at Solmsstrasse. I did not walk enough to reach Stourdza, it seems that we walked only 1/3 of the distance!
Any case, now I have to find more info about this chapel which I saw by mistake.

I loaded the pictures also in

I hope that here you can see them.

Thanks for the photos. They worked fine this time.

The dedication and the name seem to match.

yes, it looks like you were at the bottom and just needed to go uphill.

I may have a photo of the Stourdzakapelle but didn't know what it was. Will have to dig through my old photos.

Such a beautiful area - just means you'll have to go back and climb that hill!
