At the edge of the cemetery in Oberschützen, there is a burial site for 83 soldiers of the Red Army, who died in 1945 in the local infirmary after the liberation from the Nazi dictatorship. The erection of a memorial stone and a grave enclosure was carried out by the Red Army. After a complaint from the Soviet embassy, the burial site in Oberschützen was extensively restored in 1990/91.
