One of the last German still existing memorials in the Sedan area , erected 1915 on the grounds of the then german war cemetery, will most likely be demolished by order of the Sedan city councel. The back side has inscriptions of names from soldiers kia. The run down memorial is a threat to the public due to its condition. Currently there is an estimate available to secure the structure (18787 euro) the estimate for demolition is 11800 euro. Located at the Cimétiere Saint Charles in Sedan, it is rare because most German memorials erected in occupied France during WW1 were demolished at the end of the war. Despite the 1919 Versailles Treaty Article 225, obliging France to care and maintain for German War graves and cemeteries, this one, apparently, will not reach its 100th birthday.
