The municipal cemetery in Geting (Stadtfriedhof Göttingen) houses more than 1,700 war graves. In its central part, there is a large war grave site (section No. 46) from World Wars I and II. The left part of the site contains graves marked by stone crosses and the names of German soldiers killed in war. In the southern part, to the right, there are graves of Russian soldiers killed in World War I. In its upper part there are graves of foreign persons who died during World War II. In this burial site one can also find individual graves and several memorials, among them an information board mentioning 26 Poles who are buried here.
Approximately 90 Polish citizens found their resting place in this municipal cemetery - forced labourers, their children, prisoners of war, and Poles who died shortly after the war. Most of the Polish graves were moved to the site in the 1960s.
The burial site is very well maintained, and the state of those few Polish graves and memorials is quite good. What is missing, however, is the list of the names of most of the foreign persons buried in the cemetery (state from September 2020).
