Bluestone obelisk for the military and civilian victims of both world wars and for the political prisoners from the Second World War.
The monument is surrounded by flower beds bordered by metal fences set between bluestone corner pillars. Behind the monument is a lime tree.
"To our brave sons, fallen for the fatherland." it reads, along with the names of the commemorated victims.
The coat of arms of Wakken can also be seen in bas-relief.
