Hauptfriedhof Limburg an der Lahn

Cemetery description

The Main Cemetery in Limburg holds many war graves burial sections and symbolic memorials commemorating, above all, the German victims of World War II.
The Polish victims are buried in two sites: one of them is a soldiers’ burial section that is located in the southern part of the cemetery. The graves, marked with brass plaques flushed to the ground that bear the victims’ personal data can be found under a tall wooden cross. At the entrance to this site sits an erratic boulder that bears a memorial plaque with the words: ‘To all the victims of the National Socialist regime.’
The male and female forced labourers are buried in a triangle Polish and Russian Cemetery (in the southern part of the cemetery, between Sections Nos. 11 and 14) marked by a stone wall. The site has a stone stele with an orthodox cross, a memorial inscription and the victims’ names inscribed upon a side wall. The memorial inscription on the sides of the obelisk reads as follows: ‘Here lie Russians and Poles who, during the hard times of 1939-1945, died far away from their homeland.’ The inscription is hardly visible.
The cemetery is the final resting place for approximately 20 victims from Poland.
