This large German war cemetery is located near the Fort de La Malmaison, along the Chemin des Dames. It was created in 1941 by the Wehrmacht to centralise scattered graves from the Aisne region. After the war, the site was officially recognised by a Franco-German convention in 1954 and inaugurated in 1965. It is the resting place of almost 11,850 German soldiers, mainly those who died during the 1940 campaign and the fighting following the Allied landings in Normandy in 1944. Between 1960 and 1961, more than 6,800 bodies were reburied from six surrounding departments. The cemetery is sober and serene, with rows of dark crosses and a memorial stone. It is a silent reminder of the fierce fighting in this region and is an important stop on the remembrance routes along the Chemin des Dames.

For a brief stopover

If you are looking for a peaceful and picturesque hike in Aisne, you can visit Les Quatre Sergeants in Suzy, a small village which was destroyed during the First World War and subsequently rebuilt. You can discover the history and culture of this place which houses a monument dedicated to the four sergeants executed in 1822 for their participation in a plot against the Bourbon monarchy. You can also enjoy the natural beauty of the marshy terrain, ponds and the Ailette River which runs through the village.

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.

These 19th-century forts had already lost their invincibility in the second half of the century and were more of a "belt of remnants" that no longer played a major strategic role. It was only when the Chemin des Dames became a deadlock as a front area that they became relevant again for a short time. Here you can feel this survived history well, the cellar-like bunkering on the mountain. Almost a small green overgrown labyrinth today....

A very thorough grave book and a pleasant space to arrive and study. the place has great dignity.

The fortress is well preserved and can also be visited with a guide. The area around it is beautiful, green, with benches and tables. The parking lot is large and free.
