The "grave site for prisoners of war and concentration camp victims Moorkaten" is located on the grounds of the Bundeswehr training area in Kaltenkirchen.
After the city of Kaltenkirchen decided in 1977 to make this place more appropriate, the cemetery was opened in its current design a year later. This was made possible primarily through the work of two international youth camps run by the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge.
