German soldiers who died during the World War II on the territory of Belgium rest here.

They are mostly coming from collective cemeteries in Henri-Chapelle, Fossé, Overrepen and Neuville-en-Condroz [fr].

On 21 September 2019, the International Day of Peace, three unknown soldiers were buried in memory of 75 years of liberation and the 100th anniversary of the German War Graves Commission.

On this special occasion, a "peace bell" was also cast, which was then placed in the courtyard in front of the crypt.

As a result, in windy weather, the sand was blown over the cemetery in large clouds of dust.

The cemetery can be entered via a crypt designed by Robert Tischler on which there is a large crucifixion group made of basalt from the Eifel.

In the mid-twentieth century, DNA research did not yet exist, so in some cases it was difficult to determine to whom certain body parts belonged.

In addition, some fallen medical staff (doctors, nurses) have also found a final resting place here.

In the past, the cemetery has been repeatedly used for anti-democratic rallies, including neo-Nazis of the Blood & Honour movement.

Thanks to a special municipal ordinance, which was drawn up in consultation with the cemetery's managers, this extremism has been put to an end.
