German Military Cemetery - Budaörs, Military cemetery in Budaörs, Hungary.

The Budaörs Military Cemetery and Peace Park covers about 6 hectares beside the 8102 road west of Budaörs, on the way to Budakeszi. It is Hungary's largest military cemetery, holding more than 16,300 German and some 800 Hungarian soldiers. Architect Csongrádi János and landscape designer Dékány Margit combined the burial ground with an adjoining peace park planted with hundreds of saplings from 1998.

Planning for a central German-Hungarian war cemetery began in 1992, when the Hungarian state offered the land and the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge took on its construction. Architect Csongrádi János and landscape architect Dékány Margit designed the grounds together with an adjoining peace park, where several hundred saplings were planted from 1998. The cemetery was inaugurated on 19 October 2002; German ambassador Wilfried Gruber spoke at the ceremony.

The Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge maintains the site and keeps a memorial book here listing every German war dead in Hungary. The cemetery was inaugurated on 19 October 2002; the German ambassador Wilfried Gruber spoke of it as a warning sign against war and forgetting, calling for reconciliation, tolerance and peace.

The main entrance is at N 47° 28.066', E 18° 54.100', reached from the M1 or M7 motorway by exiting at the Törökbálint junction and continuing towards Budakeszi. The cemetery is open on weekdays from 8:00 to 16:00 all year, and from April to November also at weekends and on public holidays from 10:00 to 18:00. Entry and the toilets are free, but no flowers or grave decorations are sold on site.

The memorial book listing every German war dead in Hungary is kept here, at the country's central German military cemetery; the Volksbund maintains 14 other war cemeteries in Hungary. The site also received the Pro Architectura award for its main building and grounds.
