A former garrison cemetery created in 1896 by the German army, the Haguenau national cemetery holds the bodies of soldiers who died during the three conflicts that opposed France and Germany on Alsatian soil. It was then successively developed from 1914 to 1919 and then during the 1930s in order to bring together the bodies exhumed from the military cemeteries of the Haguenau-Brumath region, La Petite-Pierre, Haguenau-Brumath and the Woerth region. From 1955 onwards, they were joined by bodies exhumed in the Bas-Rhin, then in 1976 those of Soviet prisoners initially buried in Alsace.

The French war cemetery of Weiler at Wissembourg gathers together the remains of soldiers who died for France while in captivity during the occupation of the Vosges between 1914 and 1918. Established by the German army, on the initiative of the Mayor of Wissembourg, for burying the remains of Russian and French prisoners of war held at the Wissembourg camp, it was enlarged in 1924 to hold the bodies of thirty French soldiers who also died in captivity in Villé. Many are infantrymen and Spahis. In 2010, this commemorative site was recognised as a national war cemetery where in total the remains of 221 Russian prisoners, including 42 placed in ossuaries, nine Italians placed in an ossuary, and thirty Frenchmen were laid to rest.

 Champenoux national cemetery contains the remains of soldiers who died for France during the Battle of Grand Couronné in September 1914. Created in 1919, this military cemetery preserves the memory of those extremely violent battles, as does the cemetery in Courbesseaux. Today 2,862 bodies - including that of a French soldier who died for his country during the Second World War - lie in this cemetery, which was built between 1919 and 1935. One thousand six hundred soldiers lie in individual graves, and 1,261 others have been buried in two ossuaries.

At the centre of the cemetery, a monument dedicated to the “heroes of the Grand Couronné” has been erected. Created in 1921 by local artists, the architect Alfred Thomas and the sculptor Eugène Gatelet, this work in bronze, stone and golden mosaic depicts a mother mourning her departed son. The Croix de Guerre (War Cross), bearing an Adrian helmet and an olive branch - the symbol of peace and victory - reminds us of the sacrifice of this son, who died for France.
