This cemetery is managed by the city of Freiberg. It contains the graves of 1375 refugees from former German territories in Eastern Europe (Eastern and Western Prussia, Sudentenland and Pomerania), who were displaced after World War II and forced to leave their homesteads and settled in Freiberg, where they eventually died and found their final resting place in this cemetery. "Heimatvertriebene" is German for "People expelled from their homes". The cemetery is considered a memorial and therefore the graves are perpetual. They are kept forever, unlike most other German grave sites.

The Memorial for the Displaced stands as a reminder for those who were forced to leave their homes.
