Ehrenfriedhof am Maschsee-Nordufer, Memorial cemetery at Maschsee Lake, Hanover, Germany
The Cemetery of Honor features a central memorial stone with multilingual inscriptions and commemorates 526 victims of Nazi persecution and forced labor.
The cemetery was established in May 1945 after British forces discovered mass graves containing victims executed by the Gestapo during the final days of World War II.
The memorial stone, created by sculptor Nikolai Muchin-Koloda, stands as a central element representing the international nature of the victims from various European nations.
The cemetery maintains regular visiting hours and includes informational plaques in multiple languages detailing the historical events and victims' stories.
Local schools and metalworkers' union IG Metall actively participate in maintaining the cemetery and organizing educational programs about its historical significance.
