    Default The Germanic Mausoleum of Quero in Italy

    The Germanic Mausoleum of Quero is one of the many places in Italy where the bodies of Austro-Hungarian and German soldiers dating back to the Great War rest. It stands on the top of the Col Maor, a small relief of the Belluno Pre-Alps near the course of the Piave where a Habsburg outpost was located in the last year of the war. The works began in 1936 on a project by the German engineer Robert Tischler (who will also execute the unfinished Ossuary of Colle Pion di Pinzano al Tagliamento) and ended 3 years later. It houses a single mass grave with the remains of 3,465 soldiers (including 232 German Alpenkorps) who died in the battles on the Grappa Massif between November 1917 and October 1918.

    What a beautiful and somber mausoleum. Kind of reminiscent of the Volkerschlacht Denkmal in Leipzig. I'm glad they still get wreaths laid at the tomb. Bald Allzubalde.



    Thanks for sharing!

    Very nicely designed.

    And only 3 years to build? Impressive. It took them 12 months just to renovate my house!
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
