Soviet War Cemetery Reitwein

A Soviet officer chose the area in the palace park at the foot of the damaged Reitwein Church as a place for a cemetery in honor of the Soviet soldiers who died in the notorious "Battle of the Seelow Heights". In the summer of 1947, it was mainly the local women who helped to move the approximately 3,000 fallen soldiers of the Red Army from all known burial sites to this collective grave. Even today, many soldiers of the Second World War are considered missing. The area around Klessin was particularly hard fought, and there are probably still countless dead there. In 2013, for the first time in decades, it was embedded in the Soviet military cemetery in Reitwein. 29 dead Soviet soldiers found near Klessin were solemnly buried. Further burials are planned.
