In the last days of World War II the cemetery was built by the advancing US troops.
Here are resting 863 fallen German soldiers, some of whom are still being visited more than 70 years later by relatives, as can be seen from the flower decoration on the stone crosses.
More information on the information board.

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 to keep peace in the long term.
