German War Graves Lechenich
The memorial cemetery is located in the Lechenich cemetery, right next to the Heddinghoven chapel. The field was inaugurated on November 1, 1952, and is characterized by its semicircular shape. There are a total of forty-two war graves, thirty-five from the Second World War and seven from the First World War. The majority of the victims are of German origin, but the field also includes one Polish soldier and four Russian soldiers. Between the graves stands a large stone cross in memory of those who fell and went missing in both World Wars.
