Nearly 6,810 German soldiers are buried in this cemetery, which was inaugurated on 25 September 1960.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1945, the Americans had set up the first temporary cemetery in this village adjacent to Foy. The two burial spaces, American and German, were facing each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 1948, les combattants am\u00e9ricains sont transf\u00e9r\u00e9s dans le grand cimeti\u00e8re d’Henri-Chapelle<\/a>. Restera le cimeti\u00e8re militaire allemand qui recevra les d\u00e9pouilles de soldats abattus dans d’autres combats. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1954, the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgr\u00e4berfu\u00fcrsorge, the German War Graves Commission, reorganized the space. A wall and a chapel made of red Eifel sandstone were erected. The crosses, originally made of concrete, were replaced by other crosses made of natural stone. Young people from six nations kindly offered to help with the erection of the cemetery fence and the lawn for the graves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
