Remembrance Day is an important part of the culture of remembrance for the dead and victims of war and tyranny. In Rodgau, the central commemoration ceremony will take place in Hainhausen on 16 November at 12 noon at the cemetery. It begins in the mourning hall and ends at the memorial with a wreath-laying ceremony. For many years, the municipal event in Rodgau has spanned the past, present and future. This year, the focus is on the end of the Second World War 80 years ago. The soldiers from the formerly independent communities who died during the war are especially honoured. They thus once again come to the attention of the town of Rodgau today. The total number of 541 known dead and around 200 missing, most of whose fates are unknown, is shockingly high. Every single one of them had family, friends or professional contacts in Nieder-Roden, Dudenhofen, Jügesheim, Hainhausen or Weiskirchen. Many of them have descendants who still live here today. The commemoration of Remembrance Day is intended to bring the memory of these men into the present once again. The Rodgau town council and the VdK local association Jügesheim/Hainhausen cordially invite you to the commemorative event. The memorial service at the former Rollwald camp cemetery will take place on the same day at 2 pm.
