An Ehrenhain - grove of honor is a memorial site in the traditional form of a grove. The term is also used for memorials that are not in the shape of a grove.
Honor groves exist or existed in many countries as part of the sepulchral culture, especially to commemorate war dead. A large number of groves of honor were created in the German Empire to commemorate the war dead..[1] At the end of 1914, the garden architect Willy Lange developed the so-called “German Heroes’ Grove”. According to his concept, an oak tree should be planted for every fallen soldier in a community. His concept was subsequently used throughout Germany.[2][3]
In the GDR there were groves of honor in almost every district capital in memory of the champions of socialism, the victims of National Socialism,[4] or the fallen soldiers of the Soviet Army.
During the Bundeswehr's deployment in Afghanistan, in which there were over 50 dead and more than 300 wounded Bundeswehr soldiers, groves of honor were built in the field camps (such as the grove of honor in the Kunduz field camp) and some outposts, which are now in the “Forest of Remembrance” in Potsdam were merged.[5]
