Following an agreement from July 1957 between the Austrian Interior Ministry and the Embassy of the USSR, which provided for the relocation of Soviet war graves outside of cemeteries, reinterments were carried out. The large obelisk on the southern cemetery wall formerly stood in the park in Mattersburg. In 1957, 18 remains of fallen Soviet soldiers were exhumed in Mattersburg and transported with the obelisk to Eisenstadt-Oberberg.
