The fate of the cemetery

After World War II, war cemeteries from the First World War were not cared for and destroyed . It was not until 2001 that the cemetery No. 184 was completely renovated. During the renovation, trees and bushes that grew overgrown were cut down and a new fence fence was made. New tombstones with new name plates were also set. After the renovation, the cemetery was in very good condition . At the entrance to the cemetery, an information board with a cemetery plan and texts in Polish, English, German and Russian was placed.
