| In Vladslo ligt een van de grootste Duitse militaire begraafplaatsen in Vlaanderen, met 25.638 gesneuvelden. Met haar wereldberoemde beeld 'Het treurende ouderpaar' brengt de Duitse expressioniste Käthe Kollwitz hulde aan haar 18-jarige gesneuvelde zoon. | |
| A must visit for anyone touring the WW1 sites, this German memorial containing the remains of over 25,000 young men is in stark contrast to it’s British counterparts. With dark stones and multiple names per marker, there is a sense of great sadness and loss. This is made plain with the pair of sculptures entitled “Grieving Parents” by German artist Käthe Kollwitz who lost her youngest son to the war and is buried nearby. |
