There are 326 war dead on the cemetery, which was designed in 1950. These are mainly deceased in the hospital, but also dead from the fighting around MüIlheim (Bd.). A low wall encloses the plant. Name stones mark the graves. Granite crosses are distributed in groups of three over the burial ground. In the chapel, the names of the fallen were recorded in sgraffito.

As a memorial to the many war dead, such places - sometimes they are referred to as "cemetery of honor" - are very important to this day. "Now you, lord, let your servant part in peace, as you said ..." it says in the so-called "hymn of praise of Simeon" (Luke Gospel chapter 2, verse 29). Those buried here, however, are not divorced in peace, but have become victims of war and tyranny. The most important function of the military or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is therefore to remind people of the long-term preservation of peace.

326 war dead from the First and Second World Wars rest here.

People who died senselessly – and today, in 2025, humanity has made enormous technological advances. But humanly, we are still in 1914. Incomprehensible, depressing, and frightening.
