Soldatenfriedhof Niersenberg

The cemetery spans seven hectares on a wooded hill near the B510 road, containing individual graves marked by stone crosses shared between two fallen soldiers.

Established in 1954, this burial ground consolidated remains from 29 provisional sites, bringing together 1,756 war casualties from conflicts between 1914 and 1945.

A central wooden cross stands as the focal point, with stone memorials and an eagle statue on a brick pedestal marking the entrance to the grounds.

The municipal service provider ASK maintains the cemetery grounds in cooperation with local youth fire brigades and shooting associations throughout the year.

Among the buried are 50 women and 40 children who lost their lives during Allied bombing raids in the final days of World War II.
