In addition to the "normal graves", there is a large war cemetery with thousands of graves of soldiers who died in the Battle of Halbe (1945). Next to the cemetery area there are many
Commemorative plaques reporting on the history and victims of the Battle of the Kessel.

A quiet forest cemetery that not only houses around 28,000 fallen soldiers from the Kesselschlacht near Halbe, but also includes a civil part of the cemetery.
