This burial site contains the remains of 300 German soldiers who originally rested at the cemetery of the 1st Mountain Division in Böhönye. As part of a broader effort to consolidate and preserve war graves, additional reburials were carried out between 1990 and 1993. During this period, the remains of German fallen soldiers were transferred from various locations throughout the district to this central cemetery.
As a result of these reinterments, the cemetery in Böhönye has become the final resting place of 2,080 German soldiers who lost their lives during the Second World War. The site stands today as a place of remembrance, honoring those who fell in combat and preserving the historical memory of the tragic events of the war.
Maintained as a war graves cemetery, Böhönye serves not only as a burial ground but also as a solemn memorial dedicated to reflection, reconciliation, and the remembrance of history for future generations.
