There are more then 40,000 German soldiers buried here. As you can see from the drastic contrast with the last cemetery the Germans really wanted to keep things dark and somber.
The Germans had to work hard to obtain the land on which to bury their dead as the allies were not too keen to give up land to their hated enemies. Of course the willingness to make sure a war like this never happened again, an arrangement was made for all soldiers to have a place to rest and a place for people to go and remember the destruction of life that occurred.
