Go there and contact
A rocky spur transformed into a memorial museum of the battlefield and fighting on the Alsace plain at Wattwiller.
The HWK is a rocky spur overlooking the Alsace plain. This strategic position was a key battleground in the First World War, with almost 30,000 casualties. Today, a place of remembrance, the battlefield is an open-air museum. The national monument was erected in memory of the fighting: the Altar of the Fatherland dominates the necropolis, and the crypt is a place of meditation. The Franco-German historial is a permanent page in the history of the war.

???????? Monument digne des morts d'une époque dont le conflit armé est heureusement révolu.
???????? Worthy monument to the fallen of an era whose warlike conflict is fortunately now over.
Aujourd'hui le recueillement et le souvenir ne différencient plus la couleur Feldgrau ou Bleu Horizon des uniformes car aujourd'hui seul leur sacrifice et leur vaillance sont honorés et ce aussi logtemps que cette nécropole perdurera dans ce paysage encore marqué par les combats intenses.
