Military cemetery built and maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Two war cemeteries from the First World War are right next to each other: one British and one Russian. The British cemetery in particular looks very neat and impressive. The Russian cemetery is designed more than a park. For me these cemeteries are also memorials for peace!

Construction of the cemetery began in 1915 after a typhus epidemic broke out among up to 20,000 Allied prisoners. In addition to members of the Commonwealth armed forces, French and 2000 Russian soldiers, German guards were also killed. The most prominent victim among them was the painter Hermann Knackfuss.

Between 1922 and 1923, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission decided to build central war graves for all military personnel who fell or died in Germany during the First World War. This also included the cemetery in Niederzwehren, where the dead from over 190 existing military cemeteries in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Hesse and Saxony were reburied. Among them was New Zealand mountaineer and explorer James Robert Dennistoun.
