Haus Spital, Münster -  Nienberge, Westphalia, Northrhine-Westphalia, Germany

The old cemetary of Haus Spital. It is really small, the largest part of it from 1916-1919... During the First World War, prisoners from a nearby POW camp were buried there. They were from the former Soviet Union, mostly, but also from France, Serbia, Great Britain, and one from India. Not all prisoners who died in the camp did get a decent grave at all, but during WW1, some of the POWs built this small cemetary; an imprisoned sculptor from France designed the gate and the wall, and a lot of people were buried the way they would have wanted it, with proper grave stones, their names on them, and the sigil of their respective belief. You see crosses, St. Andrew's crosses, Stars of David, and crescent moons.
