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.
The cemetery was established in 2006 after efforts to create a proper burial place for German soldiers who died in Albania during the war. Its creation reflects postwar attempts to preserve memory and honor those who fell far from home.
The cemetery serves as a meeting place for people interested in German-Albanian history and remembrance. Visitors can experience how this site connects two nations through shared commemoration.
The site is located in a residential neighborhood of Tirana and remains open year-round for visitors without special requirements. The German War Graves Commission provides regular maintenance to keep the grounds in good condition.
A red granite stone on the grounds was once connected to the burial place of former Albanian leader Enver Hoxha before his remains were relocated elsewhere. This unusual connection links personal and national stories in a surprising way.
