Cemetery of Honour 1914 - 1918 Ehrenfriedhof 1914 - 1918
The City Council approved the purchase of memorial stones on May 12, 1915. The stones were for the soldiers who were buried in a part of the central cemetery who had been declared to an honorary cemetery. The soldiers were killed either by their injuries they suffered during the war or fell as a Freicorps fighter. The costs were paid by the city. Developed in four war years and five post-war years, soldiers were buried here until 1923, a comprehensive park was created. The rectangular park is internal structured by high trees and separating bushes. The war victims rest in grave rows which are ordered circular or in right angel. The grave fields are intersected by sand paths which divide the park into four segments. The tombstones are made of limestone from the Elm forest (nearby Brunswick). The names are engraved in iron cast plates and are topped with the Iron Cross. Two wells are created at two ends of the path crossing. At the edges of the four segments are memorials erected for the Brunswick traditional regiments.
