German Soldiers’ Cemetery [Vokiečių Karių Kapinės]

German Soldiers’ Cemetery
Destroyed presumably some time shortly after WWII and re-sanctified on August 28, 1998, this strangely pleasant and atmospheric place amidst cedar trees at the far end of the park that starts just north of the railway bridge on H. Manto was used for the burial of soldiers in the German army during both World Wars. With the exception of a few salvaged and mostly broken headstones whose names evoke an entire lost community (technically these soldiers were defenders rather than invaders), all of the memorials are modern, marking the spots where graves were known to have originally existed. Actually two separate areas, a memorial complete with photographs and fresh flowers can be found in the cemetery’s northern-most section.
