The Polish graves are located in the northern part of the cemetery in plot no. 39. This plot is named the Memorial to Polish War Victims, and 250-300 Poles and nearly 300 citizens of the USSR are buried there. The majority of those buried here are forced labourers who were employed in Lübeck during the Second World War and the dipis who died after liberation. There are also 13 (11 known by name) Polish officers from Oflag XC Lübeck, who died in the camp or shortly after liberation, buried here. Quarters 39 is also a memorial and burial place for concentration camp prisoners, most of whom died in the last weeks of the war during the so-called death marches. The identity of most of them is unknown. The cemetery's war grave records also include the names of 12 Poles who were imprisoned in concentration camps and died within weeks of the end of the war. In total, the names of 608 Poles are known.

In 2020-2021, the Polish-German Reconciliation Foundation, as part of a task subsidised by the Ministerial Programme "Sites of National Remembrance Abroad", compiled the data of the buried persons and made it available, together with a description of the cemetery, on the website of the project "Polish Memorials and War Graves in Germany":
