This is the Memorial for both World Wars....the plaques on the wall list all the names of the Fallen of Braunau. It is interesting to note that during W.W. 1 about 150 soldiers who called Braunau their home died, while WW 2 demanded 520 victims....that is the loss of a good portion of the young males of a town of about 18,000. This memorial is located in the lower level of the "Old Church", just accross from the "New" Church...( I believe the "New" church was built in the 1700s...(how New can you get?) The names also list Theo Luigs, the first husband of my sister Irmgard and the father of Theo. ....Theo Sr. never saw his son....
