On the north side of Miesenheim were fields once occupied by
the Rheinwiesenlager. It was a site just outside the built-up area of Miesenheim to the
north of the houses on the Weitersfelder Straße / Merowinger Straße.
Numerous high-voltage wires hung over these fields. The electricity crackled
around my head. Between the many high-voltage pylons I found a spot, where I
stood reasonably safe.
I went into prayer and asked God, our Dear Lord, the Almighty to
strengthen these fields with Love, Light and Peace, in order to soothe the suffering inflicted on
prisoners and the deceased.

A14 – Miesenheim cemetery
Central in Miesenheim, on the Plaidter Straße, we found a general cemetery (Friedhof). There was a corner for the victims of the Rheinwiesenlager set up.
According to information, of the nearly hundred thousand German soldiers incarcerated,
many perished in the Rheinwiesenlager north of Miesenheim. Where were these people
buried? The cemetery in Miesenheim is far too small for that!
Why was this encampment named Plaidt-Miesenheim and not just Miesenheim?
