The German war cemetery Meersburg-Lerchenberg is a military cemetery on the Höhenweg between Meersburg and Hagnau for 69 German soldiers from the First World War. They died during their treatment as wounded interned or during the exchange of seriously wounded German prisoners of war for seriously wounded French and English prisoners of war in neutral, humanitarian Switzerland.

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.
