Le cimetière fut à l'origine créé par les Allemands qui restés maîtres du terrain, à l'issu des combats des 23-24 août sur le sol de Tarcienne lors de la fameuse bataille de Charleroi, y regroupèrent les corps des combattants des deux camps tombés autour de Tarcienne. Aujourd'hui, le cimetière accueille les dépouilles de 153 Allemands, 394 Français et deux Russes (le 3ème fut restitué à la famille. A noter la présence d'un ossuaire accueillant les restes de soldats allemands et français."
