Unknown German Monument Photo Card

[Kaiserzeit]

Dear Forum Members,

I recently purchased a large collection of WW2-era photos and this picture was among them. Does anyone recognize what monument this is, its location, and if it still exists?

The caption along the bottom reads "L.G.Kdo.XII/XIII Nbg. Durch R.d.l.u.Ob.d.l. beschrankt freigegeben fur Unterrichtszwecke in Schulen. Kontrol Nr." (I undertsand it is given out freely to schools for purposes of instruction, but I don't understand all the other abbreviations.

Thanks for any help,

Kaiserzeit

Hello kaiserzeit!
The abbreviations are: "Luftgau-Kommando XII/ XIII Nürnberg Durch Reichsministerium des Innern und Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe beshcränkt freigeben....."
I think the building is the "Befreiungshalle" in Kehl.

Nice aerial view! You can see some more period photos and a modern view of the Befreiungshalle, overlooking the Danube River outside Kelheim, at http://www.thirdreichruins.com/misc_sites3.htm#kehlheim .
