General description

On 23 May 1915, the Kingdom of Italy declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Italian army occupied Cortina, the Austro-Hungarian troops retreated to Lagazuoi to defend Val Badia and Pusteria.

Under the Croda dell'Acqua in a place now called Sorgenti, the Austrian dressing station was located. Those who died in the infirmary were buried in the immediate vicinity of the Austrian central aid post, without distinguishing between nations. Thus in 1915 the War Cemetery was born.
After the annexation of South Tyrol to Italy, the Italian army took on the task of grouping the numerous small cemeteries scattered along the war lines into a few central cemeteries. The transfer of the bodies took place in the years between 1926 and 1938. In the War Cemetery, the bodies of the fallen soldiers buried in cemeteries in the surrounding area were brought together. While the “Germans” were transported to other cemeteries, the bodies of the fallen of other nationalities arrived at Sorgenti. 1,259 soldiers found eternal rest in Sorgenti.
