Kriegsgräberstätte Ludwigstein
Kriegsgräberstätte Ludwigstein, War cemetery near Burg Ludwigstein, Germany
The cemetery contains 323 graves arranged in a quarter circle pattern with crosses made from Michelnau basalt lava tuff stone.
Established in 1961, this burial ground holds remains of Wehrmacht members, prisoners of war, and forced laborers transferred from various locations in northern Hesse.
The cemetery functions as an educational site where students research biographical traces from 1944 and 1945 through interactive programs.
The cemetery entrance features an information board detailing grave arrangements and site history, accessible via the main road to Burg Ludwigstein.
The green half-shell tower at the entrance represented German division during the Cold War, when families faced difficulties visiting graves.
