The monument to the residents of Gosławice fallen in World War I in Opole was erected in the 1930s to commemorate 72 people from the locality who were killed during World War I. The monument depicts a lying soldier on a pedestal situated on a two-step base. In the center of the front wall, in a wreath, there is the Iron Cross – a symbol of bravery in battle, and on both its sides inscriptions in German. Below the wreath appears the date: 1914–1918. The names and surnames of the fallen and the date of their death are carved on the side walls of the pedestal. In 1976, the monument was dismantled by decree of the communist authorities and until 2004 was stored in the area of the nearby parish. The restored monument has stood by the cemetery chapel since 2010. Practical information: The facility is generally accessible.
