The Brouderdorff national cemetery holds the bodies of 466 Frenchmen, including 390 buried in two ossuaries. Following the Battle of Sarrebourg (August 1914), this cemetery was developed by the German army in order to bring together the remains of soldiers killed in this sector. In 1924, under the control of the French graves authorities, other bodies were transferred here. A large number of these soldiers belonged to the 139th, 121st, 92nd and 16th infantry regiments (RI).
