Best Hikes to Cologne War Cemetery (British War Cemetery)

Tips

  • 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.

  • The best 'honor' for the soldiers buried here (and the many other victims of war and tyranny) would be to avoid violent conflicts in the future and to strive for peaceful coexistence between the different peoples.

  • The cemetery in the cemetery.
    The British war cemetery is maintained and administered by the British themselves.
    Very interesting and also really nice to look at.
