What you will see nowadays in this quiet place? Rows of graves with standard headstones. There are separate burials and mass graves here. But it was especially painful for me to look at the tombstone with the inscription "Unknown". How many of these unknown soldiers' graves are scattered around the world?

By the way not far from the cemetery, near the Bundeswehr Military History Museum the monument dedicated to soldiers of Soviet army is situated.
