Common Grave Site for Soldiers of the Red Army in Zurndorf

On the village cemetery of Zurndorf there are two graves for soldiers of the Red Army. In a large communal grave, 14 individual graves were combined. According to the statements of the military commander, Lieutenant Colonel Pankevič, the large grave site was already equipped with a concrete enclosure in 1955. The grave stone with the Soviet star and Russian inscription was likely also erected by the Soviet occupation forces. On the grave site there is also a small private memorial plaque for the soldier Butenko Lawrentij Iwanowitsch who fell in 1945.
