    In close proximity to the transit camp for prisoners of war from the Soviet Union, the main camp Stalag 326 VI K, a burial ground with mass graves was created at the time of the Second World War.

    Immediately after the liberation, the survivors endeavored to transform this cemetery into a place of remembrance. Today it has become the Soviet cemetery of honor.

    On May 7, 1945, a group of former prisoners began construction work on a 10-meter high obelisk, which was to serve as a memorial. They were also supported by German residents.

    65,000 people from the various peoples of the former Soviet Union are buried in the Soviet military cemetery in Stukenbrock-Senne. During the National Socialist dictatorship, they died primarily in the main camp VI K (326), a prisoner of war camp that existed from 1941 to 1945.
    The place with the terrible history is now a place of remembrance.
    The cemetery was inaugurated on May 2, 1945.
