About this cemetery
The German war cemetery at Langemark is one of four First World War German cemeteries remaining in West Flanders. A British cemetery was begun here in October 1914, and the area fell to the Germans after the gas attack of 22 April 1915. Its mass grave holds 24,917 dead, the largest on a German soldiers' cemetery, and a sculpture of four mourning figures by Emil Krieger was added in 1956.
