History

The first cemetery of the village of Frauendorf was probably built in the 13th century with the construction of the first temple. In 1862, during the construction of a new church (the present church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help), a part of the former cemetery was destroyed. After the end of World War I, a monument commemorating the fallen was erected in the cemetery. In 1921, its area was enlarged towards the north-east and reached its present size, in the years of World War II, a dozen or so French prisoners were buried here. He survived unchanged until 1945, when he was seriously damaged once with a nearby temple. In 1946, the then authorities ratified the necropolis and then Polish settlers started to settle here in Golęcin. In order to obtain land for burials of Poles, the graves of the Germans buried here were planned or destroyed, and only three pre-war tombstones survived to this day (the oldest of 1893). In 1971, Sanepid issued a decision prohibiting further burials, this was argued by the high state of groundwater. Eventually, in 1980, the Golęcin Cemetery was declared a closed necropolis, since then many Szczecin residents exhumed their relatives to other cemeteries. [source: Wikipedia, 3939574]
