The bronze sculpture was originally created in 1928 for those who died in the First World War. According to a decision by the city administration, the Second World War was added to the inscription.

Great bike path from Görke to Anklam. From the vantage point you can wonderfully observe nature and the various birds. Unfortunately the bike path is too short.

Somewhat hidden between trees is the memorial for the fallen of the First World War: a dying lion on a stone pedestal. The sculpture, created by August Kraus in 1928, was cast in bronze and has been in the Anklam city park since October 7, 1928. This monument is unique. The inscription in the base of the monument was supplemented with the dates of the Second World War by a majority decision of the city council.
