From 1942 to 1945 849 SS soldiers from Germany, Austria, Belgium, Finland, the Netherlands, France and Norway with "true arian blood" were allowed to be buried here. The cemetery had the shape of a fortress with swastikas, but it was destroyed by the Red Army after the war.
It was unknown where it exactly was because of a hand drawn map showing a cemetery and a church but in 2000 it was found and the German War Grave Commision (Volksbund) and with along Ukrainians they were allowed to create a new site as it stands today.
