Description:The Hall of Honour with a recumbent bronze sculpture on a plinth which represents “The Fallen Warrior” by German sculptor, Professor Hans Wimmer (1907-1992). On the far wall is a plaque to commemorate 50 years of friendship in working together for peace and reconciliation between Staffordshire County Council and the German War Graves Commission (Bremen) August 2012. Open doorways lead to two terraces. On the east terrace is a memorial to the crews of four Zeppelins shot down over England during the First World War. The other terrace leads to the cemetery.
This Cemetery on Cannock Chase was first opened to the public on 10 June 1967. It was established under the terms of an agreement of 16 October 1959 between the governments of the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany. The German War Graves Commission designed and constructed this cemetery, to which the bodies of most of the German war dead in Great Britain and Northern Ireland were transferred.
This cemetery is cared for by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission on behalf of its sister organisation, the German War Graves Commission (Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgraberfursorge).
