Evangelical-Augsburg Cemetery (Warsaw)
The Evangelical-Augsburg Cemetery in Warsaw was designed by the German architect Simon Gottlieb Zug at the end of the 18th century and inaugurated on May 2, 1792 in the Wola district . Originally limited to 4.5 hectares, the cemetery on 54-58 Młynarska Street now covers a total of 6.6 hectares.
One of the most important tombs on the site of the now listed cemetery is the Halpert family burial chapel , which was built in 1835 based on a design by the architect Adolf Schuch .
In the more than two centuries since its opening, around 100,000 deceased have been buried in the cemetery. During the Second World War , the cemetery was the scene of fierce fighting. The cemetery is bordered to the north by the small and abandoned Caucasian-Islamic cemetery , the property of which was once sold by the Evangelical-Augsburg community in Warsaw to the city's Islamic community.
The centuries-old tombs in the cemetery are now in desperate need of renovation. In the 1970s, a citizens' committee was set up for this purpose, which deals with the rescue of artistically and historically particularly valuable tombs. Every year on All Saints' Day and All Souls Day on November 1st and 2nd, well-known actors, writers and journalists collect donations for the renovation of valuable grave sculptures in the cemetery. Between 1984 and 1999 alone 180 tombs were renovated as a result.
