Soldatenfriedhof Hautecourt, German military cemetery near Étain, France
The cemetery contains 7,885 German soldiers from World War I, with 2,885 in individual graves and 5,194 in three communal graves.
French military authorities established this cemetery in February 1920, consolidating smaller German cemeteries from the Verdun battlefield region.
Twelve graves of Jewish soldiers feature natural stone steles with Hebrew inscriptions instead of crosses, following religious traditions.
The German War Graves Commission maintains the cemetery, which is accessible through stone-walled stairs leading to a forged iron gate.
The city of Essen assumed patronage of the cemetery in 1933, leading to the discovery and identification of additional fallen soldiers.
