The German military cemetery of Hohrod-Bärenstall is located on the slope of the Collet du Linge, between the villages of Hohrod and Orbey. It contains the graves of 2,460 German soldiers who fell during the bloody battles of Le Linge and the Tête des Faux in 1915. The site was originally established in 1916 by Bavarian troops and later redeveloped by the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge. The cemetery is laid out in a sober, geometric style, with 1,518 individual graves and an ossuary containing the remains of 942 soldiers, including hundreds of unknown graves.
