Description

This German military cemetery is located in the Gobessart forest, 4 kilometers southeast of Saint-Mihiel on the heights overlooking the town.
The Gobessart German cemetery was set up by the German army in 1914. The cemetery is home to 6046 German dead from the First World War.
After the end of the war, the French military authorities enlarged the cemetery with large additions of graves from 48 communes, where the temporary graves created by the troops during the war were removed. Those buried here today belonged to units whose original garrisons were located in Bavaria, West Prussia, Posnania, Silesia, Hesse, Brunswick, Saxony, Baden and the Rhineland.
Of the 3077 mass grave victims, 636 remain unknown.
