on the wall at the entrance to the cemetery is a simple iron cross.
The cemetery is located on a hill and is completely surrounded by a stone wall.
A steep staircase leads to a narrow entrance with an iron gate.
On the right side of the entrance is the iron cross on top of the wall.
The cemetery was build in 1948 after the second world war and contains 400 civilian victims of a bombing in Kleve.
At the cemetery itself there are randomly placed groups of 3 stone crosses.
The groups of crosses made of green Anröchter dolomite, which in their roughly hewn shape are reminiscent of medieval atonement crosses, characterize the wide area as a graveyard.
In the middle of the cemetary is a crypte.
