The cemetery is located north of the Altkirch communal cemetery at the intersection of the Chemin des Cimetières and the Chemin de Heidwiller. There are 1785 war dead interred here, including 1734 French and 15 Russians from World War I, as well as 36 French from World War II. The cemetery was created in 1920 by consolidating interments from the area southeast of Mulhouse, including the communes of Ballersdorf, Friesen, Illzach, Lutterbach, Sirentz, and Zillisheim. In 1934-1935 the cemetery was expanded by re-interring remains from the communes of Bouxwiller, Hagenbach, Hésingue, Traubach le Haut, and Chavannes les Grands.
