beskrivelse:
In the yard of the former garrison church to Altona, St. John's Church, on 5 October 1925, donated by the former 31er all 31ern memorial in the form of a 8.50 m high triangular monument of brick and ceramics at the sides watching in relief each man with sword and shield, was inaugurated. Each one of the men symbolizes the active, reserve and Landwehr Regiment of the 31.
Designed by the architects Heinrich Esselmann and Max Gerntke in cooperation with the sculptor August Henneberger the memorial was executed by John Kriegeris.
The inscription on the monument reads translated:
The fallen heroes to the grateful memory, the survivors as a warning, the coming generations to emulate.
It follows - as countless war memorials of the 19th and 20th century - the inscription (dedication) on the Prussian National Monument for the Liberation Wars on Kreuzberg hill in Berlin. It is also a quote from the speech of Paul von Hindenburg at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Tannenberg Memorial.
The parish of St. John worked in connection with a student project of the University of Hamburg, Design Department, is a redesign of the monument. Boards of the Altona artist Rainer Tiedje deny since the direct top view of the martial warrior figures. Destroyed a 2009 panel of the project was replaced by the artist Wiebke Logemann.
