Bordj Cedria German Military Cemetery

Bordj Cedria Cemetery is a German military burial ground in Hammam Chott with thousands of graves arranged in orderly rows across the grounds. The site is maintained by the War Graves Commission and serves as a solemn memorial for those who fell in North Africa.

The burials date from campaigns between 1942 and 1943 when German forces operated in North Africa. Many soldiers died during combat or while held as prisoners in the region.

The cemetery's names and inscriptions reflect the German-Tunisian connection from the World War II era. Visitors encounter a quiet memorial for fallen soldiers that is treated with respect by the local community.

The grounds are freely accessible and can be explored on foot, with pathways running between the headstones. Visitors should be aware this is a place of remembrance and approach it respectfully.

The grounds include monuments and memorials that extend beyond individual graves themselves. These additional structures remember the broader scale of losses and key moments from the campaign.
