Pohjois-Haaga mass grave memorial

The memorial site features commemorative plaques and marks the location where 28 individuals were buried during the Finnish Civil War of 1918.

German Baltic Sea Division soldiers executed Red Guard members and civilians at this location on April 12, 1918, during the Battle of Helsinki.

The memorial serves as a testament to the Finnish Civil War period, with annual ceremonies held to remember those who lost their lives.

Located near Pohjois-Haaga railway station, the memorial includes informational plaques in Finnish and provides wheelchair access for all visitors.

The site contained wooden crosses until the late 1940s, and received a revised plaque in 2015 correcting historical details about the executions.
