Musketier Otto Bieber, born on 25 October 1896 in Gr. Werder/Osterode, killed in action 4 October 1917 at Zonnebeke.
It is unknown why these 4 Germans in particular were allowed to be buried in the British War Cemetery. At the time of Otto's death, the area was still under German control. German losses were high on 4 October 1917. The German Infantry Regiment 79 had only 137 men after the battle.
Some say they were found buried in the field next to the cemetery and the Gardeners asked permission to rebury them within the boundaries. This does not necessarily explain their graves' positions close to the Cross of Remembrance
Tyne Cot Cemetery is located 9 Kms north-east of Ieper town centre. There are two separate registers for this site - one for the cemetery and one for the memorial. The cemetery register will be found in the gatehouse as you enter the cemetery, and the memorial register will be found in the left hand rotunda of the memorial as you face the memorial.
'Tyne Cot' or 'Tyne Cottage' was the name given by the Northumberland Fusiliers to a barn which stood near the level crossing on the Passchendaele-Broodseinde road. The barn, which had become the centre of five or six German blockhouses, or pill-boxes, was captured by the 3rd Australian Division on 4 October 1917, in the advance on Passchendaele.
One of these pill-boxes was unusually large and was used as an advanced dressing station after its capture. From 6 October to the end of March 1918, 343 graves were made, on two sides of it, by the 50th (Northumbrian) and 33rd Divisions, and by two Canadian units. The cemetery was in German hands again from 13 April to 28 September, when it was finally recaptured, with Passchendaele, by the Belgian Army.
Tyne Cot Cemetery was greatly enlarged after the Armistice when remains were brought in from the battlefields of Passchendaele and Langemarck, and from a few small burial grounds.
It is now the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the world in terms of burials. At the suggestion of King George V, who visited the cemetery in 1922, the Cross of Sacrifice was placed on the original large pill-box. There are three other pill-boxes in the cemetery.

This is an old, loud and steamy industrial giant in the Harz mountains in Northern Germany.
Die Verkäuferin im Laden war leider resistent gegen die Information, dass hier was nicht richtig geschrieben ist und reagierte eher unwirsch. Naja, ist ja nur eine kleine Käseecke neben dem Backwarenstand, der den Laden mit einem Fleischerstand teilt.
