The military cemetery is signposted as a war cemetery from Ummelweg. After approx. 250 m the cemetery is somewhat hidden to the left of the path on the edge of the forest. However, there is no other sign that indicates the cemetery.

Small cemetery where five Russian forced laborers were buried during World War II.

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 of the lasting preservation of peace.
