Tirana German military cemetery

Tirana German military cemetery, War cemetery in Tirana District, Albania.

The German military cemetery in Tirana is a memorial site honoring soldiers who died during World War II and are now buried on the grounds. The graves are arranged in organized rows across maintained grounds, with white grave markers forming the focal point of the landscape.

Albania and Germany signed a war graves agreement on 14 April 1994, which took effect on 7 January 1995. After internal unrest subsided, the German War Graves Commission laid out the cemetery in 2002 on land the Albanian government provided free of charge in the Grand Park. It was officially inaugurated on 19 November 2006, with Defence Minister Fatmir Mediu and Ambassador Hans-Peter Annen attending.

The memorial stone bears an inscription in both German and Albanian, and the eight steles list every German soldier known to have fallen in Albania, with those buried here marked by a diamond symbol. About 40 metres away stands the British military cemetery, so the two sites are often visited together.

The cemetery lies in the northwest part of Tirana's Grand Park, not in a residential district; the British military cemetery stands about 40 metres away. The grounds cover roughly 150 square metres inside a stone wall, so the whole site can be seen in a few minutes. The Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge built and maintains the plot on land the Albanian government provided free of charge.

The cemetery holds only 60 of the roughly 1,800 named German soldiers who died in Albania; the rest are commemorated by name on eight steles behind the granite memorial, with those actually buried here marked by a diamond symbol. About 40 metres away stands the British military cemetery.
