About this cemetery
The Waldfriedhof Halbe is a war cemetery in Halbe, Brandenburg. When the Battle of the Halbe Pocket ended on 28 April 1945, around 40,000 German and Soviet soldiers and civilians killed within a week lay in the area, and the cemetery was created from the burial work that followed. It holds about 24,000 burials and is described as one of the largest war cemeteries in Germany. To get in touch, call +49 33765 84606 or visit amt-schenkenlaendchen.de.
