Discover Bergfeld: War Cemetery and Village Region

Bergfeld can be explored through a specific place of remembrance and its connection to the Mitten an der Kleinen Aller Village Region. A war cemetery is located at the cemetery, at the address Hauptstraße 10 / 2. If you are planning your trip beyond the village center, you can also consider the wider destination of Gifhorn, where landscapes, cycling routes and cultural attractions complement the local focus in different ways.

A Place of Remembrance in Bergfeld

The war cemetery at Bergfeld cemetery is a place of remembrance. It is associated with the graves of two German soldiers who died in the Second World War. This gives the subject of remembrance a specific connection to Bergfeld and to the people remembered there. The exact address is a helpful reference when planning your visit: the site is at Hauptstraße 10 / 2. The cemetery and war cemetery thus provide a clearly identified local point of reference, while the other nature and cultural attractions belong to the wider destination of Gifhorn.

Bergfeld in the Mitten an der Kleinen Aller Village Region

Together with Barwedel, Hoitlingen, Jembke and Tiddische, Bergfeld is part of the Mitten an der Kleinen Aller Village Region. The regional development program was adopted in 2025. The name of the village region places Bergfeld within a shared regional framework, while the place of remembrance remains a distinct, specific connection to the village. When planning your trip, you can therefore decide whether to focus on Bergfeld and the village region or broaden your itinerary to include attractions in the wider destination of Gifhorn.
