March 23, 2026, Soviet War Cemetery Ludwigslust

In Ludwigslust there are two significant memorial sites that are often mentioned in connection with Soviet victims or the liberation in 1945. The actual Soviet War Cemetery is located in the municipal cemetery on Grabower Allee. This cemetery is the final resting place for Soviet military personnel and civilians who died in Ludwigslust during or shortly after World War II.

The Stepenitz is a beautiful river that meanders through the beautiful landscape of the Prignitz. You can even watch salmon, as attempts have been made to reintroduce the fish here since 2000.

Especially since the Second World War, the preservation of this church is thanks to the great willingness of the Perleberg parish to make sacrifices. Over these decades, they have repeatedly made an invaluable contribution to this church through work and fundraising campaigns; even old Perleberg residents who now live elsewhere have played their part in ensuring that the church is so well preserved.
