It does have a long history and counts as one of the oldest and first cemeteries established by the 95 Infantry Division of the Deutsche Wehrmacht and tracing its history back to the beginning of 1940s. It is in the gravestones of the voiceless that perhaps have the loudest voices. It is thought that a large proportion of the 314 graves of the identifiable graves which do bear a date and names are those of the buried Soldiers.
