Open all year round

The cemetery (2,130 m²) is surrounded by an earth wall approximately 0.5 m high and 2 to 2.5 m wide. Birch trees grow on the inside of the mound. The entrance, demarcated by concrete posts, is located on the eastern side, opposite the central monument. The cemetery is divided into several blocks by footpaths. There are 8 rows of graves to the left of the entrance and 13 rows to the right. There are 3 transverse rows on the right-hand side. The graves are marked with concrete crosses. The issue of "Kriegsgräberfürsorge" 2/34 (Berlin) mentions that 449 known and 27 unknown German soldiers of the First World War are buried there. In July 2012, the cemetery was thoroughly repaired by the German Armed Forces.
