Station II: Grave field of German fallen soldiers from the Second World War

The facility to commemorate those who fell in World War II consists of a cemetery on which three memorial crosses are arranged in seven groups of three on a lawn. In the middle of the cross is a memorial stone that commemorates the 234 soldiers buried there, 177 of whom are named on three plates, mostly with date of birth and / or death and rank. All three plates contain gaps in the text. Names and dates have been erased at these points, but some of them are still recognizable.

  Gravestone for the deceased Jewish citizens

history

On January 9, 1903, Joseph Schweig signed the purchase agreement for an area of ​​more than 5000 m³. The Jewish woman Sara Pese was buried there on February 15, 1902. On May 20, 1910, Schweig transferred the area to the property of the city, except for his personal hereditary burial site.
After Joseph Schweig's death and due to the small number of Jewish citizens in Weißwasser, the cemetery fell into disrepair. The eastern part was leveled in 1982 and turned into a park.
Since 2004, parts of the Jewish area have been made visible again by the municipal monument commission, an association and private individuals. The city renewed the 100 year old maintenance contract. The hereditary burial sites of the Schweig and Pese families exist again today. In addition, a memorial stone was erected for the deceased Jewish fellow citizens and three Hungarian-Jewish forced laborers from the Weißwasser women's labor camp who perished under the National Socialist regime.
In addition to the sculptor Dorothea von Philipsborn and Joseph Tudyka , a “ Righteous Among the Nations ”, Joseph Schweig has one of three honorary graves in the town of Weißwasser. He is also an honorary citizen of the city of Weißwasser.
