This cemetery lies within the boundaries of the 17th Kharkov Cemetery. It is a collection cemetery for German soldiers killed during World War II and buried throughout the eastern Ukraine. As of 2008, there were 38,927 German soldiers buried here, and it is estimated that eventually this cemetery will contain over 40,000 burials as remains from the war continue to be found. The cemetery was dedicated in 1998 by then German President Roman Herzog. The authorities do not plan to mark each individual grave. Instead, granite steles will be set up in every section, listing the name of the dead buried in that section. It may be reached by traveling the city ring expressway to the 17th City Cemetery exit and following the signs. Go 500 meters along the main cemetery road and turn left.
