Country information
Prisoner of war cemetery 1939/45 The prisoner of war cemetery was restored in 1996. A high cross with a memorial message and three groups of symbolic crosses commemorate the dead of Camp No. 286 who rest here. In 2008, the Volksbund completed the restoration work by erecting two inscription steles with the names and dates of 267 war dead buried here, as well as a stele with the name of the cemetery and a short text on the work of the German War Graves Commission in Estonia. Since 1993, young people have been helping to maintain the cemetery as part of Volksbund youth camps.
