Info: 

In the area of the Soviet war cemetery in Herleshausen, 1,593 Soviet prisoners of war are buried, known by name. They were called up in 1944/45 to build the Hersfeld-Berlin motorway (today's A 4) and died of illness and lack of care.

The enclosure and entrance area of the cemetery are made of the red sandstone from which a motorway bridge near the camp was built. After renovation, it was inaugurated on September 26, 1959 and blessed by a Russian Orthodox priest in 1960.
