Kriegsgräberstätte Bitburg-Kolmeshöhe
Kriegsgräberstätte Bitburg-Kolmeshöhe, War cemetery and cultural monument in Bitburg, Germany.
The cemetery grounds contain 2043 graves spread across a gentle slope between Bitburg and the Bitburg-Stahl district, surrounded by a small forest area.
Established in 1930 as a memorial for World War I casualties, the site now includes 1961 World War II soldiers and 59 civilian victims.
The cemetery features an octagonal limestone observation tower built in 1912, serving as a central memorial point for commemorative ceremonies.
The memorial site is located west of Bitburg, directly accessible from Federal Road 257, between the rivers Kyll and Nims.
President Ronald Reagan and Chancellor Helmut Kohl's 1985 visit to this cemetery generated international discussions due to the presence of Waffen-SS graves.
