Noyers-Pont-Maugis German war cemetery

About

The German Military Cemetery of Noyers-Pont-Maugis is a military cemetery of the First World War and the Second World War, located on the territory of the commune of Noyers-Pont-Maugis, in the Ardennes department, France. This place of memory was created after World War I in 1922.

History: In 1922, the French authorities began to develop this cemetery. During the Second World War, the Wehrmacht also carried out burials, planted trees and contributed to the site's development. Following the first Franco-German Convention on War Burials signed on 23 October 1954, transfers were made to bring together various cemeteries in this place, in order to facilitate the maintenance of graves. The transferred burials come in particular from a temporary cemetery between Oches and Sy, including many of the Grossdeutschland Division soldiers killed at the Battle of Stonne, a cemetery originally located in Faux, and another located at Soiry Farm in Inor. A second treaty of 19 July 1966 organises the maintenance of cemeteries with the intervention of the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge...
