Due to space constraints, in 1977 eleven Wehrmacht soldiers and 31 "Eastern refugees" were exhumed from the Städtischen Friedhof Landeck and reinterred in the Waldfriedhof (Soldatenfriedhof) behind the Waldkapelle above the city parish church of Landeck. These are mainly Soviet prisoners of war or forced laborers. On the aluminum cast crosses, only the name and year of death are recorded. In 2014, the cemetery was renovated.
