During World War II, the German army set up an anti-aircraft defense station at the cemetery, destroying the entrance gate. After the war, the work of destroying the cemetery was completed and in the mid-1960s, the rest of the equipment was removed from the area and the area of the necropolis was set off, not exhuming the ashes of the fallen. In 2011, the City began the reconstruction of the cemetery. The gate and fencing from the west side and the obelisk in the center of the necropolis were reconstructed. In 2015, the cemetery was entered into the register of monuments of the MaĹopolska province. At the cemetery, a family of a soldier who died during World War I and buried here, from Modra, in today's Slovakia, set up a small cross. Placed on it a plate with the names of soldiers coming from this city, resting in this place.
