Generalfeldmarschall von Mackensen at unknown monument

[norwest78]

I'm hoping that somebody recognizes this monument and can identify it. Thanks for any clues!

Oddly similar is this monument in Michigan state, USA, dedicated in 1938 to Hugh Gray, the dean of Michigan's tourist activity!

IMO it's "Der Jungsturm seinem Generalfeldmarschall".

Mackensen was patron of the Jungsturm movement. See:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungsturm_(Bewegung)

 

I guess, every local group of the Jungsturm "donated" a stone with their town's name.

It was a common practice back then, in my town there was a similar HJ one. 

 

But could not find it with the words "Mackensen jungsturm Denkmal" in google, nerveless the combination of the words.

The HJ one in my town is also destroyed. These monuments were nothing special like an equestrian statue of Mackensen, so nobody cared after them, when there was no HJ or Jungsturm anymore.

Thank you very much for the reply.  I think you have solved my mystery 😉
