Yikes, that grass at the Residenz is toast. No wonder the river levels are low.
StartrainDD- The War Memorial you were looking for, I remember two. One was a memorial for the fallen of WW1 & 2, that was part of the ring park, over by the rail station. I really like the design of this, showing the 'sacrifice'/end result of war, and the respect of his comrades in the laying to rest of the remains.
The second was a small memorial room off the main square. I remember it having a few information panels and a diarama showing the devastation. All war destruction is a sad waste, this was especially sad; primary target had too much cloud cover, so Wurzburg was alternate. Combined with it being almost the end of the war, no military targets...
And I am always amazes me is how well the rebuilding/reconstruction went. I'm in construction, and the effort, and end results impress and amaze me. Wurzburg went with a modern style, some cities seem to have gone 100% historic. For a 19 year old kid, I was gobsmacked that I was fortunate enough to be in such a beautiful, historic location; living in a small farm village, just outside such a beautiful place, sweet wife and trusty Suzuki 650 at our side for exploring.
These reports bring back so many memories, so THANKS again, you too Notamermaid! (as always).
