In total there are 21,222 German soldiers commemorated here, of which 207 unknown and 89 identified are buried in a kamaradengraben (mass grave) underneath the central man-made hill.
The Cemetery is the centerpiece of a Friedenspark (Peace Park), stretching along the highway back to Bayeux. Every tree in the park is sponsored by an individual, an organization, or a municipality, in honor of the cause of peace.
Since 1996 there has been an Information Centre and museum on the site. Here you can see a permanent exhibition about the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge an the Normandy Campaign and check both German and Allied casualties on a computer database.
