A small cemetery hidden in the woods, difficult access on a forest road from the A5. In 2005, 2006, 2007 restored and documented by LOT e.V. (see related links). The area is manageable, in the center of the cemetery a hill rises up, on which graves are closely located. In front of the entrance are lined up three gravestones, which were dug out of the ground by LOT e.V., they were probably thrown on a pile.
There is a depression in the cemetery, it is histroically known that shootings took place in the cemetery, including a shooting of a group of children and teenagers and it is suspected that the mass grave was there, so a memorial stone was erected in 2006.
