Rhauderfehn

The deceased were buried in the old part of the necropolis, at the church Catholic cemetery, which was later connected with a new, bigger communal cemetery. The deceased found their place of rest in the existing plot of war tombs together with one Russian and ten German soldiers. Several metres further there is also a small plot with graves of German civilians - victims of Allied Forces' bombing.
