Tips

September 6, 2024

The German Military Cemetery in Ysselsteyn (municipality of Venray) contains 31,598 graves. The central memorial with a concrete cross forms the centre of the park. The cross has a natural stone casing and is surrounded by short grave pillars made of natural stone. The circle of grave pillars also contains five glass, semi-transparent pillars. Near the memorial is a carillon with 25 bells hanging in five steel structures. The carillon is 4 metres high. A Gingko tree (Gingko biloba) has been planted at the entrance to the cemetery. To enable relatives to quickly find the grave of their fallen, the site has been divided into 106 blocks with twelve rows of 25 graves each. Stone section markings have been placed along the 800-metre-long road that crosses the cemetery. The cemetery is approximately 30 hectares in size.
