War Cemetery Grossringe/Neugnadenfeld (Camp Alexisdorf)

The Soviet prisoners of war who died in the Alexisdorf camp were buried in individual or mass graves in the cemetery near the Dalum camp (now the Dalum war cemetery) until the early summer of 1943, when a new burial site was established near the camp.

A bronze plaque at the entrance to the cemetery reads: “Around 600 Soviet prisoners of war, whose names are unknown, rest here in mass graves. Most of them died of malnutrition and epidemics.”
