Originally created in 1933-1935, the Ehrenfriedhof now serves as a memorial to the fallen soldiers from both world wars. Horrifying, considering the countless terrible experiences that these and all wars have brought to mankind.

Cemetery of honor in memory of the fallen soldiers of the First World War.

As a memorial to the countless war dead, places such as the Heidelberg "Cemetery of Honor" - they are usually referred to as "war graves" or "soldiers' cemetery" - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny.

The most important - and at the same time everlasting - function of soldiers' or honorary cemeteries or war graves is therefore to keep the memory of the suffering and misery of war alive and to remind each generation anew (!) of the need to maintain peace in the long term.
