Tips from the Community
This large German war cemetery is located near Fort de La Malmaison, along the Chemin des Dames. It was established in 1941 by the Wehrmacht to centralize scattered graves from the Aisne region. After the war, the site was officially recognized by a Franco-German convention in 1954 and solemnly inaugurated in 1965. Nearly 11,850 German soldiers rest here, primarily fallen during the 1940 campaign and the fighting after the Allied landings in Normandy in 1944. Between 1960 and 1961, over 6,800 bodies were reburied from six surrounding departments. The cemetery is sober and serene, with rows of dark crosses and a memorial stone. It serves as a silent reminder of the fierce fighting in this region and is an important stop on remembrance routes along the Chemin des Dames.

Such places – usually referred to as "war cemeteries" or "military cemeteries" – are still very important today as memorials to the countless war dead. "Now let your servant, Lord, depart in peace, as you have promised..." reads the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke, chapter 2, verse 29). The many people buried here, however, by no means departed in peace, but became victims of war and inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time eternal function of military or honor cemeteries, or war cemeteries, is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and – every generation anew (!) – to admonish to the lasting preservation of peace.
