On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the municipality of Nauheim, together with the VdK social welfare association, Nauheim branch, invites you to a memorial service commemorating the National Day of Mourning. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. at the forest cemetery located at Königstädter Straße 80. The focus will be on remembering the victims of war, violence, and terror, as well as the importance of peace and humanity in our time.
All citizens are invited to participate in the memorial event and pause together for a moment of reflection.
Remembering the victims of war and tyranny
The National Day of Mourning is a day of silent remembrance. It commemorates people who have lost their lives through wars, violence, and terror.
This includes the victims of the two world wars as well as people who died in captivity, through expulsion or as a result of tyranny.
With this joint memorial service, the municipality of Nauheim and the local VdK association wish to commemorate these fates and at the same time set a sign for peace and understanding.
Mayor Friedrich: Peace is not something to be taken for granted
Nauheim's mayor, Marc Friedrich, emphasizes that the commemoration on Remembrance Day should not be solely about the past. In light of current armed conflicts, the event also has particular significance for the present.
“When we remember the victims of war and violence today, we are not only looking to the past. The images and news from current war zones show us how fragile peace can be,” explains Friedrich.
That makes it all the more important to pause together and become aware of our own responsibility.
"Peace, understanding and humanity are values that we must stand up for every single day," the mayor emphasizes.
Joint commemoration at the forest cemetery
The memorial service will take place on Sunday morning at the Nauheim forest cemetery.
The municipality of Nauheim and the social association VdK want to create space for joint remembrance with the event and at the same time send a message against war and violence.
All interested citizens are invited to participate.
