This peaceful place is the resting place of 5,590 German soldiers who died during the First World War, mainly during the battles around Saint-Mihiel and the Heights of the Meuse. After the war, the cemetery was set up by the French authorities as a collective burial ground. In 1970, the wooden crosses were replaced by metal ones with names and dates. A silent witness to the fierce battle that raged here between 1914 and 1918.
