In the early hours of January 31, 1945, Red Army troops crossed the Oder and formed the first bridgehead in what is now Germany. A quarter of a year later, World War II was over. This event was used as an opportunity to set up a memorial in 1970. Since then, a Russian T-34 tank has stood in the middle of the town. The monument ensemble in Kienitz, which provides information on World War I events, also includes the World War I memorial (1914-1918), the memorial "To the Victims 1939-1945" and the memorial stele for the bridgehead on the Oder.
