The name suggests otherwise, but Germania is a French World War I cemetery. The cemetery is located at Le Gaschney, near Stosswihr in the Vosges Mountains. Germania is the only French funeral site of this type and looks very similar to the German waldfriedhof cemeteries. The cemetery was close to a French field hospital and part of Camp Nicolas, named after the commander of the 24th Bataillon de Chasseurs Alpins who was killed at the Reichsackerkopf on 21 July 1915.

In 1918, about 600 French and American soldiers rested at Germania. The bodies were reburied in other cemeteries after the war. Today, only a few stone steles remain.
