The International War Cemetery

The War Cemetery in Stargard Szczeciński was established in 1914, where you can find graves of more than 5000 Polish, Russian, French, Yugoslav, Italian, Moroccan, English, Belgian, Serbian, Romanian and Portuguese prisoners. The area of ​​the cemetery is 1.27 ha.

The necropolis was created as a burial place of Russian soldiers. During World War I 95 prisoners were buried there: Russians, Serbs, Romanians and the Portuguese. Three monuments in honour of the Russians: Orthodox, Muslim and Jewish ones come from that period.

During World War II, the prisoners of war from Stalag IID in Stargard (a camp for privates and non-commissioned officers) and from Oflag IIC in Dobiegniewo (a POW camp for officers) were buried there. According to incomplete data, 369 prisoners including: Soviet, French, Polish, Yugoslav, Italian, Belgian, Moroccan, English and Dutch ones were buried there during the war. The cemetery was enlarged in 1952. In the 1950s, 70 corpses were moved there from individual graves in the vicinity of Stargard, Pyrzyce and Choszczno. While moving the mausoleum of Soviet soldiers from Wolności Square in Stargard in 1996, the body of only one soldier buried there was exhumed, even though there were 36 graves in the mausoleum. 30 boards with the names of the soldiers buried there hang on the cemetery fence.

In front of the gate of the cemetery, there are several parking places for cars.
