A cemetery commemorating 151 Russian people who died here in 1941-1945. It can be assumed that they were forced laborers who had to work on the Ruhr in the steel industry during the war.

The NSG Maasbecke, in which the cemetery of honor is located, is a natural gem in the middle of the large settlement density.

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such places - usually referred to as "war cemeteries" or "soldiers' cemeteries" - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the many people buried here were by no means divorced in peace, but became victims of the war and an inhuman tyranny.
The most important and at the same time everlasting function of the soldiers' or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and – every generation anew (!) – to remind people of the lasting preservation of peace.
