On the hill of Montsec in France stands this impressive memorial, erected by the United States in honor of the American troops who broke through the German St. Mihiel salient in September 1918. The monument, a classical colonnade with a bronze relief map in the center, offers a panoramic view of the former battlefield. It symbolizes the cooperation between the French and American armies and commemorates the more than 550,000 American soldiers who took part in this first major, independently led American offensive operation of World War I.

The former German military cemetery of Altenweiher was located near Saint-Mihiel in the Meuse department, a region that was badly affected during the First World War. The cemetery was built by the German troops to bury their fallen soldiers in the area, often near field hospitals or strategic positions. After the war, many of these smaller cemeteries, including Altenweiher, were cleared and the remains transferred to larger collective cemeteries such as those at Consenvoye or Andilly, as part of a wider regrouping of German war graves by the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge. Today, little remains of Altenweiher, but it stands as a quiet reminder of the scale of human loss in this region.

Duke Leopold of Lorraine also stayed there in 1698. 📍 Location: 16 rue Larzillière-Beudant, Saint-Mihiel 🏷️ Status: Private property, but the exterior is visible from the street.
