The German Memorial

In World War I (1914-1918), the Ottoman Empire and Germany were within the same alliance, and Jenin was one of the strongholds of the German army, where the headquarters of the military aviation forces were located in the Dubayya building in Jenin, and a military airport was established south of the village of Al-Muqaybilah. On October 13, 1917, an air battle took place between the Germans and the British, and three German pilots fell.

The memorial was erected by the Germans in 1917, on a land of 80 square meters; it is a square stone building with a height of about 3 meters, and on the southern side, a symbol of an airplane wing made of wood, one meter long, on the western side of the beginning of Haifa Street, and written on it in German (In memory of honor for our dead who fell in the war, sector 301, and on the northern side it says Sector 303 Airmen, Fighter Squadron 1, and on the eastern side, Fighter Squadron 2.)
