Katholischer Friedhof Johannisberg

Cemetery description

The central part of the Catholic Cemetery in Leichlingen contains, right next to the chapel, an oblong burial site for forced labourers. At the entrance to the site, there is a memorial plaque with an inscription that reads: ‘The final resting place for all the forced labourers from Poland and the USSR who died between 1945-1946.’ The stone crosses arranged in two rows bear the names of the victims buried here. 27 Polish citizens are interred in this site.
