Minden - Nordfriedhof Marienstraße

Cemetery description

The Northern Cemetery (Nordfriedhof) in Minden, established in the early 20th century, contains the graves of almost 700 victims of World War II. In the north-eastern part of the cemetery is a burial site holding more than 130 graves of foreign citizens from Poland (according to the latest research - 84), the Soviet Union (55), Yugoslavia (7), Belgium (5), the Netherlands (3), Latvia (4) and Czechoslovakia (2). In 1976, 51 graves were moved to this site from the local cemeteries.
From the available archival lists, in total, more than 80 Polish citizens found their final resting place here during and after the war. These were, above all, victims of forced labour, air bombings and between ten and twenty persons who died after the war. However, some of the graves have not survived until today.
In the burial site for foreign victims, there are five rows of stone slabs with the names of the victims engraved upon them. The sandstone slabs stand on concrete plinths. The site is well maintained, and the state of the memorials is very good.
