This serene cemetery contains 1,111 individual graves of German soldiers who died in the Argonne Forest during the First World War. Created in November 1915, it is the only German cemetery in the region that has been largely preserved in its original state.
Of particular note is the gravestone of Commander Baron von Müllenheim-Rechberg, who died in 1916, and the monument to the 27th Landwehr Regiment. Since 2023, the site has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage as part of the World War I Memorial Sites.
