It contains 2596 Commonwealth war graves from prisoners of war mainly from the First World War.[2] There are also over 1900 Italian prisoners of war buried here. More dramatically, but less acknowledged, the cemetery contains the remains of around 40,000 civilian victims of the bombing of Cologne.[3] HistoryConceived in 1899 and opened in 1901 the cemetery was laid out as a parkland, and was heavily planted to enhance its woodland ambience, to a design by the landscape architect Adolf Kowallek. Kowallek died the year after the cemetery opened and is buried near its entrance. The cemetery has been extended several times, notably in 1915 to accommodate dead prisoners of war, plus later extension in the 1930s and lastly in 1963. Notable Burials
