Originally, the Sachsenberg cemetery belonged to the Schwerin Sachsenberg psychiatric hospital (Helios Kliniken Schwerin at present). At the time of World War II the hospital was transformed into a lazaret (field hospital). Nowadays, the former hospital cemetery is the final resting place for victims from Germany, the USSR, France, Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Ukraine, many of whom were civilian forced labourers. Unfortunately, most of the graves have been removed as the cemetery has been closed down and is now being (together with the remains of the war graves) transformed into a park area.
The Foundation for ‘Polish-German Reconciliation’ is in possession of a list (most probably incomplete) of 46 Polish citizens buried here.
