“In the course of 1926, various parties expressed their displeasure at the unkempt condition of the grave, which was only recognisable by the wooden cross erected in 1918 (with the inscription “Richthofen, von Baron, Capitaine”) and was otherwise unadorned, to the Reichswehr Ministry. With the involvement of private funds and significant participation of the “Ring der Flieger e.V.” association, a capstone was erected on the grave with a ceremony to mark the dedication of the monument on 28 October 1926.”
