The German losses in the First World War are estimated at 53,000 war dead.
For 53,000 dead of the First World War, including 34,309 known by name, there are entries in Romanian grave lists that name 164 communities as cemetery or grave locations.
The German losses in World War II are estimated at 38,000 war dead. The Commission has received reports of 35,344 losses, of which 22,650 are registered by name.
The dead are buried in about 820 locations, 90 percent of them in 170 cemeteries.
The war graves agreement between Romania and Germany was signed on June 25, 1996 and came into force on December 10, 1997.
Negotiations between the Volksbund, Romanian government agencies and various municipal authorities made a number of construction projects possible as early as 1984: the relocation and redesign of German graves from both world wars in Braila (1984), the restoration of the “Pro Patria” cemetery in Bucharest (1986), re-design of the Second World War site in Constanta (1987), restoration of the German military cemetery in Galati (1991), restoration of the First World War site and preparation of the Second World War graves in Focsani (1994) and the development of a collective cemetery for the dead of the Second World War in Iasi (1996).
A central collective cemetery is planned for the dead of northern, central and southern Romania in Sercaia.
In Bordesti, Buzau, Craiova, Frunzoaia and Viseu de sus, cemeteries from the First World War were restored by Bundeswehr soldiers, and work is currently being carried out in Dragoslavele and Soveja. German and Romanian young people worked in the cemeteries in Iasi, Brasov and Timisu de sus.
