Monument for Soviet Soldiers at Annabichl Cemetery

At the Annabichl cemetery, Soviet allied soldiers were buried during the National Socialist period in various graveyards. Later, on the graveyards XVII and XVIII, a memorial was erected on the western edge of the cemetery, which is inscribed in Cyrillic and commemorates Soviet soldiers who died in Carinthia. This part of the Annabichl cemetery served as a multi-ethnic military graveyard both in the First and Second World Wars: soldiers from different countries, many of them prisoners of war, were buried here. In the 1970s, Soviet prisoners of war and forced laborers were exhumed from the Annabichl cemetery and transferred to the Soldiers' Cemetery St. Veit an der Glan.
