After the heavy fighting, the soldiers were usually buried where they had fallen. between 1916 and 1917, larger cemeteries were built, such as the Anloy Heath Cemetery. The German cemeteries in the Belgian province of Luxembourg were designed according to the plans of architect Ludwig Paffendorf.
in 1957, the Volksbund dissolved the cemeteries of the First World War and brought the fallen to Anloy.
Now 1,384 Germans and 592 French soldiers from the First World War rest here.
