Description

The iron crosses are lined up in a natural setting on the edge of the forest. It is a peaceful place where 4,754 German soldiers are buried. Most of them are buried in the 2 ossuaries around the stele (grouping of bodies exhumed from cemeteries or military squares of 51 surrounding communes). The cemetery was created in 1893 by the German army for the burial of soldiers from the front. Part of it is a civil cemetery containing some thirty graves of German citizens who died during the annexation of Alsace-Moselle.
