This serene cemetery contains 1,111 individual graves of German soldiers who died in the Argonne Forest during the First World War. Created in November 1915, it is the only German cemetery in the region that has been largely preserved in its original state. Of particular note is the gravestone of Commander Baron von Müllenheim-Rechberg, who died in 1916, and the monument to the 27th Landwehr Regiment. Since 2023, the site has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage as part of the World War I Memorial Sites.

The Lost Battalion Memorial is located in the Charlevaux Ravine near Binarville, on the D66, and commemorates the heroic struggle of some 554 American soldiers of the 77th Infantry Division who were surrounded by German troops during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in October 1918. Led by Major Charles Whittlesey, these men held out for six days, cut off from supplies and communications, with only carrier pigeons as a means of contact. The most famous of these, Cher Ami, saved the battalion by delivering a crucial message despite being wounded, which stopped friendly fire.

The King Karl Spring in the Argonne. Karl Friedrich Alexander von Württemberg was from 1864 to 1891 as Charles the Third King of Württemberg. There were innumerable forest camps in the Argonne during the World War. Initially little more than a leaf colony, large camps emerged over the course of the war, often terraced into the steep slopes and gorges of the Argonne Forest. Equipped with a light rail connection, canteens, libraries and much more, they benefited from the abundance of water in the forest. Graf-Häseler-Quelle, Kronprinzen-Quelle and König-Karl-Quelle are just a few names. The König-Karl-Quelle is the only well-known, preserved enclosed spring in the Argonnerwald. Very close to two large forest camps - Totermann camp and Totental camp, the troops will have supplied themselves with fresh water here. The 19th Reserve Division mentioned on the edging of the spring stayed in the Argonne in the summer of 1916 after the Battle of Verdun. The Reserve Infantry Regiment 73 writes about the breakneck journeys in the open wagon of the Argonne Railway to the Totermann camp. Contributing Author By M.P.
