At the war cemetery Böddeken rest a total of 473 dead, who were reburied from the former counties Paderborn, Büren and Warburg. The area for this left Baron Heinrich von Mallinckrodt in 1950 the then county Büren for the establishment of this war cemetery. Later, the meadow valley was also called the "valley of peace". An information board at the entrance to the war cemetery provides the visitor with comprehensive information.

As read on the sign:
"Against forgetting - for peace"

Never again war !
The dead black fern fronds on the edge of the well-tended grounds were also a symbol for the fallen soldiers, only they will awaken to new life in spring
