The former German military cemetery of Altenweiher was located near Saint-Mihiel in the Meuse department, a region that was badly affected during the First World War. The cemetery was built by the German troops to bury their fallen soldiers in the area, often near field hospitals or strategic positions. After the war, many of these smaller cemeteries, including Altenweiher, were cleared and the remains transferred to larger collective cemeteries such as those at Consenvoye or Andilly, as part of a wider regrouping of German war graves by the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge. Today, little remains of Altenweiher, but it stands as a quiet reminder of the scale of human loss in this region.
