There is a car park and a side entrance to the cemetery. At the entrance is a large plan of the entire cemetery.

The Cemetery may be approached from the A61 motoway. Leaving the motorway at junction 57 Worms/Morstadt, follow the sign for Worms Nord along the 425. At the junction with the 18 turn right onto 18 direction Worms Herrnschein. Follow this road through the village to the traffic lights. Cross straight over the lights and turn first left into the parking area which is situated before the cemetery. Enter the cemetery through the gate and follow the main path to three steps. Go up the steps, turn left and the Screen Wall Memorial is on the right.

The majority of First World War Commonwealth war graves in Germany were moved into four permanent cemeteries after the war. However, a few graves could not be moved on religious grounds or for other reasons and they remain in their original locations in German military and civil cemeteries. Worms (Hochheim Hill) Cemetery contains a substantial plot of Allied prisoner of war burials. Among these are the graves of 113 Commonwealth servicemen who died in 1918. The names of the dead are inscribed on a screen wall. Their names are carved on a screen wall in the Allied Plot.

No. of Identified Casualties: 113
