German cemetery at Cesis (Wenden), Latvia

I went to Cesis (Wenden), north-east of Riga, yesterday, to see the castle of the Livonian Knights. By accident I found a German military cemetery nearby. I doubt German cemeteries were maintained in Soviet Latvia, so I assume this is all recent. I thought forum members might find this of interest. Next to the standing cross there are four panels with several hundred names on them. If anyone is interested in the names I will provide a link to large version of the photos (larger than I can upload here).
