Friedhof Petershagen-Lahde

Cemetery description

The Evangelical Cemetery in Petershagen-Lahde, located next to the chapel, contains a war graves burial site for victims of World War II. According to the inscription upon the centrally placed monument - a column with a crown of thorns - this is the place in which 102 unidentified (by name or by country of origin) victims of the Lahde work education camp and 45 stateless foreign victims are buried.
Among these allegedly stateless victims were at least 20 persons of Polish origin who, after the war, stayed in a displaced persons camp and died in 1945, and just a few who died in 1946 and 1947.
However, it is impossible to state whether there are any Polish citizens, victims of the Lahde work education camp, who are buried in this cemetery. The list of the identified victims is available in the description and the documentation of the Gedenkstätte Petershagen-Bierde cemetery and memorial site - the place in which most of the victims from Poland and the USSR have their graves
