The ossuary, which never went into operation, was used in 1944 during World War II as a fort to protect the bridge at Pinzano. More information: turismofvg.it/de/110490/ehemaliges-deutsches-beinhaus-colle-pion

The former German Ossuary of Colle Pion was intended to be a mausoleum specifically commissioned by Hitler to house the remains of approximately 3,000 Austrian and German soldiers who fell in the area during the First World War.

located on the summit of Colle Pion which had been chosen for the construction of a German ossuary that would have collected the remains of the German soldiers who fell in the battle of November 1, 1917. The idea dates back to 1937 at the behest of Adolf Hitler's Reich himself who, thanks to good relations with Mussolini's fascist Italy, had been able to purchase these lands. Based on the project by architect Robert Tischler (who had completed the German Mausoleum of Quero in 1936), work began in 1939 with sixty workers from the Venetian firm Marchioro di Thiene and under the supervision of an Austrian instructor. The initial design aimed to develop an itinerary that could allow the visitor to see, metaphorically speaking, the passing of the soldier's soul. The ossuary, according to the plans, would have occupied approximately 3,420 square meters for a height of 10, partly covered and composed of stone blocks of different sizes. the works continued for 5 years but in 1944, due to the events of the Second World War, they were interrupted. In that year, in fact, what had been built was converted into a military garrison for the defense of the Pinzano bridge. For this reason, the ossuary was heavily bombed and at the end of the conflict it was definitively abandoned without ever having hosted any bodies.

The German Ossuary of Col Pion, an unfinished work, built in a panoramic position overlooking the Tagliamento and the plain, is absolutely worth a visit.
